Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Understanding
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Overview
Lung cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the lungs. Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. About 80% to 85% of lung cancers are Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. The main subtypes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. These subtypes, which start from different types of lung cells are grouped together as Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer because their treatment and prognoses (outlook) are often similar.
The three main histological subtypes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer are:
• Adenocarcinoma: About 40% of all lung cancers are adenocarcinomas. These tumours start in mucus-producing cells that line the airways.
• Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC): About 25-30% of all lung cancers are Squamous cell carcinoma. This type of cancer develops in cells that line the airways and is usually caused by smoking.
• Large cell (undifferentiated) carcinoma: This type makes up around 10-15% of all lung cancers. It gets its name from the way that the cancer cells look when they are examined under a microscope.
Symptoms
Symptoms of lung cancer that are in the chest:
• Coughing, especially if it persists or becomes intense
• Pain in the chest, shoulder, or back unrelated to pain from coughing
• A change in color or volume of sputum
• Shortness of breath
• Changes in the voice or being hoarse
• Harsh sounds with each breath (stridor)
• Recurrent lung problems, such as bronchitis or pneumonia
• Coughing up phlegm or mucus, especially if it is tinged with blood
• Coughing up blood
Diagnosis
Tests that examine the lungs are used to diagnose and stage non-small cell lung cancer.
• Physical exam and health history: An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual.
• Laboratory tests: Medical procedures that test samples of tissue, blood, urine, or other substances in the body. These tests help to diagnose disease, plan and check treatment, or monitor the disease over time.
• Chest X-ray
Treatment
Treatment primarily involves surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Because most lung cancers cannot be cured with currently available therapeutic modalities, the appropriate application of skilled palliative care is an important part of the treatment of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Emerging Drugs
• Canakinumab: Novartis
Canakinumab is an interleukin (IL)-1β blocker that is being evaluated in CANOPY trial. CANOPY-A is a Phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of canakinumab as adjuvant therapy in adult subjects with stages II-IIIA and NSCLC following complete surgical resection. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival
• Cemiplimab (Libtayo)- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals/Sanofi
Libtayo is a fully-human monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint receptor PD-1 on T-cells. By binding to PD-1, Libtayo has been shown to block cancer cells from using the PD-1 pathway to suppress T-cell activation. The open-label, randomized, multi-center Phase 3 trial investigated the first-line treatment of Libtayo monotherapy compared to platinum-doublet chemotherapy in squamous or non-squamous advanced NSCLC that tested positive for PD-L1 in ≥50% of tumor cells. A separate Phase 3 trial evaluating a first-line combination of Libtayo and chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC irrespective of PD-L1 expression is also underway and expected to be fully enrolled in 2020.
