Presentation:
"New insights into lung cancer biology”
Abstract:
In the lecture I will discuss recent advances in our understanding of lung cancer biology, with a focus on oncogene-driven lung adenocarcinomas, in particular those driven by mutant EGFR. I will talk about how studies of the biology of these tumors have informed therapeutic approaches to treat these tumors and our understanding of drug resistance and mechanisms of drug tolerance.
