ABSTRACT
A short summary of the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and mesothelioma is given in this chapter based on the evidence from randomized trials, although it should be realized that patients included in clinical trials are not representative of the patient population as a whole. Chapters 7, 8, and 9 provide detailed information on the recent treatment options for the various major histologic types of lung cancer and mesothelioma.
