Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer and the Role of Imaging

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality and accounts for more deaths than breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined. Traditionally, treatment options have included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Continual advances in the characterization of lung cancer have resulted in the development of effective immunotherapies. These agents help the immune system recognize tumors as foreign, stimulate the immune system, and relieve the inhibition that allows the growth and spread of cancer.
