Routine molecular profiling of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: results of a 1-year nationwide programme of the French Cooperative Thoracic Intergroup (IFCT)

TLDR
The frequency of genetic alterations, acceptable turnaround times in obtaining analysis results, and the clinical advantage provided by detection of a genetic alteration suggest that this nationwide molecular profiling of patients with advanced NSCLC provides a clinical benefit.

Hallmarks of cancer: the next generation.

TL;DR: Recognition of the widespread applicability of these concepts will increasingly affect the development of new means to treat human cancer.

Cancer statistics, 2013

TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates have declined 20% from their peak in 1991 to 2009 and can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket and other underserved populations.

Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor underlying responsiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer to gefitinib

TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have specific mutations in the EGFR gene which correlate with clinical responsiveness to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, and these mutations lead to increased growth factor signaling and confer susceptibility to the inhibitor.
