OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States for both men and women. Progress in the screening, prevention and treatment of this disease has been limited, and approximately 85 percent of patients who develop lung cancer will die from it. Published results from clinical trials lead to the continual emergence of novel therapeutic strategies and changes in the indications for existing treatments. In order to offer optimal patient care, oncology nurses must be well informed of these advances. Lung Cancer Update for Nurses provides an overview of the latest research developments and up-to-date clinical management strategies in lung cancer paired with the opinions of a nurse practitioner and clinical investigator experienced in the treatment of lung cancer.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
To present the most current research developments in lung cancer and to provide the perspectives of a nurse practitioner and clinical investigator on the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
