The molecular and cellular biology of lung cancer: identifying novel therapeutic strategies

British Medical Bulletin
Alison C MacKinnonTariq Sethi

Abstract

Lung cancer is the commonest fatal malignancy in the developed world. Survival rates for lung cancer have not changed significantly over the past 30 years. Sources of data This report is a systematic review of the literature on our current understanding of lung cancer biology. Searches were carried out using PUBMED. 1990-2010. A concerted effort to reduce cigarette smoking and nicotine addiction is required. A better understanding of the biology of lung cancer will lead to the identification of earlier diagnostic markers and improved therapy. How chronic inflammatory disorders such as COPD and lung fibrosis contribute to lung cancer development is incompletely understood. Developing novel biological agents to target lung cancer. New microarray-based technologies provide new methods for predicting prognosis and response to treatment. Developing strategies to target lung cancer stem cells may provide a novel approach for treating drug resistant disease.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
