Special Issue on Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled
cell growth in tissues of the lung. Most cancers that start in lung, known as
primary lung cancers, are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells. The main
types of lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), also called oat cell
cancer, and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The most common cause of
lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke. Nonsmokers account for 15%
of lung cancer cases, and these cases are often attributed to a combination of
genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution, including secondhand
smoke.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring lung cancer. Potential topics include,
but are not limited to:
-
Basic Biology of Lung Cancer
-
Clinical Assessment
-
Detection and Screening
-
Epidemiology and Etiology
-
Lung Cancer Surgery
-
Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinomas
-
Lung Cancer Chemotherapy
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an
electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript
title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Lung cancer” should be chosen during your submission.
