stage 3c lung cancer prognosis :: Article Creator Experimental Drugs Could Help Lung Cancer Treatment Research Enter A New Era More people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are likely to benefit from new drugs that target molecular alterations in tumor cells, with less need for chemotherapy, following results of multiple clinical trials reported for the first time in late-breaking presentations at the ESMO Congress 2023. Better outcomes were achieved with combinations of experimental new drugs targeting common and rare tumor mutations than with standard treatments, with improvements seen in both early and late-stage NSCLC—the type of lung cancer responsible for approximately eight out of 10 cases of the disease.
