Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. However, since the first edition of Lung Cancer was published 14 years ago, rapid progress in the biology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease has been made.

This outstanding team from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center takes an evidence-based approach to lung cancer management and explains these advances in depth. Comprehensive treatment guidelines are provided, the third edition of Lung Cancer explores vital issues such as:

* Lung cancer susceptibility and risk assessment
* The pathology and pathogenesis of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma including bronchioloalveolar carcinoma
* Screening for early detection
* Advances in molecular and genetic markers
* The detection and treatment of pre-neoplastic lesions and screening for lung cancer
* Novel therapies such as angiogenesis and multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors
