Lung
Cancer results from an abnormality in the cells of lung.The body maintains a
system of checks and balances on cell growth so that cells divide to produce
new cells. If this system is interrupted, the uncontrolled division of normal
cells into abnormal cell forms a tumor. This tumour represents about 14 % of
all the cancer and highest incidence rate is found in age of 65 years and more.
Immune oncology therapy might be helpful.
This
tumor tends to spread in early stage that’s why it is called as a very life
threatening cancer. Lung cancer can spread to any organ of the body such as
bone,liver, and adrenal glands. Lung cancer mostly occurs in the lungs of
elderly people. In many developing countries, the incidence of lung cancer is
beginning to fall following public education about the dangers of cigarette
smoking. Across the world, lung cancer is the most common types of cancers in
both men and women.

are identified for this tumour such as smoking (most common), tobacco use,
randon gas, polluted environment, tuberculosis and radiation exposure.
Small
Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) are types of
lung cancer. NSCLC has subtypes like adenocarinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and
large cell carcinoma.
The
patients of lung cancer is treated with immunotherapy has shown fewer side
effects than other. Immunotherapy and immune combination therapy are advanced
treatment for cancer. Although, immunotherapy is based in some
immunotherapeutic agents such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, checkpoint
inhibitor, kinase inhibitors, adoptive T cell therapy and cytokines.
Some
monoclonal antibodies such as Bevacizumab and Crizotinib, and some kinase
inhibitors such as Erlotinib and Afatinib have received approval by Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of lung cancer. Although, many
immunotherapeutic agents are running under various phases of clinical trial for
FDA approval such as TG4010, CAR CD8 plus PBL, MPDL3280A, Cixutumumab, AMG 102 and erlotinib, Nivolumab, Bavituximab, INGN, Dribble, Patritumab and much more.
