Lung cancer is a major global health problem. Several strategies are required to conquer this cancer. Stricter implementations of tobacco control measures are necessary. Early detection programs should be implemented to decrease lung cancer mortality. Although chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of treatment, targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors improved treatment of metastatic cancers and are hoped to improve outcome of adjuvant and induction therapies. Novel immunotherapy approaches hold great promise. Better understanding of the molecular biology of lung cancer should lead to rational drug design.
