Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lung cancer remains a formidable global health challenge, but recent advancements in both radiation and systemic therapy have redefined its management landscape. This Special Issue serves as a testament to the relentless pursuit of improved treatment strategies. In the realm of radiation therapy, innovations in precision and targeted delivery have revolutionized our ability to obliterate tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. Simultaneously, systemic therapies have witnessed groundbreaking developments, with the emergence of immunotherapies and targeted therapies as well as the refinement of traditional chemotherapy regimens. These strides reflect a paradigm shift in lung cancer care, offering patients more tailored and effective options, prolonging survival, and enhancing the quality of life. This Issue delves into the promising breakthroughs, current challenges, and future directions at the intersection of radiation and systemic therapies in lung cancer management.
