Exposure to asbestos is associated with various pathologies, such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and pleural plaques. As treatment for these disorders is not curative, the main aim should be to limit exposure.
Recent advances in the molecular knowledge of small-cell lung cancer are outlined, as are promising new treatment strategies, including those targeting the DNA damage pathway, oncogenic drivers, and epigenetics.
An exploration of the potential impact of hormone replacement therapy in women on the most commonly occurring lung diseases, such as asthma, lung cancer, and pulmonary hypertension.
A discussion of lung microbiome dysbiosis in various chronic respiratory disorders and the mechanisms by which these bacteria can cause or contribute to the severity of disease.

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
TIGIT, a co-inhibitory receptor found on T cells and NK cells, transmits inhibitory signals upon binding to its ligand. This interaction suppresses the activation of various signaling pathways, leading to functional exhaustion of cells, ultimately …
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging class of therapeutics for lung cancer, and several are currently in development for this malignancy. The structure of these molecules is based on an antibody that targets a protein on the lung cancer …
Inequitable access to care continues to hinder improvements in diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. This review describes healthcare disparities in the changing landscape of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the United States, focusing on …
Arachnoid granulations (AGs) are protrusion of arachnoid membrane into dural sinuses. They function the transport of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from subarachnoid space into the venous system. AGs frequently protrude into the dural venous sinuses …
Expert-led, multiformat program which will address the individualized management of NSCLC, through education on the detection of NTRK gene fusions, current evidence-based guidelines, and new and emerging therapies. Will also include guidance on integrating shared decision making into your clinical practice, drawing on insights from a patient on how best to communicate.
Lung cancer is an increasingly serious global public health concern due to its substantial incidence and its role as a leading cause of cancer-related death [ 1 ]. In 2020, there were 2,206,771 new cases of lung cancer and 1,796,144 related deaths …
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are abundant in tumors and interact with tumor cells, leading to the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment and tumor progression. Although many studies have explored the mechanisms underlying TAM …
The increase in the detection rate of synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) has posed remarkable clinical challenges due to the limited understanding of its pathogenesis and molecular features. Here, comprehensive comparisons of genomic …
Lung neuroendocrine neoplasms (LNENs) account for one fifth of all pulmonary malignancies and comprise four histological subtypes with different clinical and biological characteristics [ 1 – 5 ]. Pulmonary carcinoids represent 10% of LNENs and …
