Special Issue on Lung Cancer   

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated, this growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and, eventually, into other parts of the body. 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. Please submit your research, review or short communication for this upcoming Special Issue on "Lung cancer"

l  Basic Biology of Lung Cancer

l  Clinical Assessment of Lung Cancer

l  Detection and Screening of Lung Cancer

l  Epidemiology and Etiology of Lung Cancer

l  Lung Cancer Surgery

l  Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinomas

l  Lung Cancer Chemotherapy

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.scirp.org/Journal/ForAuthors.aspx?JournalID=125. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://papersubmission.scirp.org/admin/initLoginAction.action?journalID=18 according to the following timetable:
