Lung Cancer Metastasis Novel Biological Mechanisms and Impact on Clinical Practice /

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality. Metastatic lung cancer is responsible for more than ninety percent of lung cancer related deaths. However, relatively little progress has been made in understanding the process of lung cancer metastasis. The two main aims of this book are...
