P3.04-062 - Application of Molecular Detection of Lung Cancer in Developing Countries (ID 2537)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Y. Shang
- Abstract
Background:
The era of personalized medicine of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has arrived. Gene detection plays a key role in the decision of clinical treatment for patients with adenocarcinoma at least. Access to those tests is still very limited in the developing countries, such as quality control, expenditure/cost and popularization.
Methods:
Individualized treatment of lung cancer, application of molecular detection in developing countries and challenges that high-quality molecular detection faces were all retrospectively reviewed.
Results:
The strategies certainly vary from country to country due to the differences of national conditions in developing countries. Individualized treatment based on molecular detection kits and targeted drugs has been a reality, and the subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma will emerge rapidly.
Conclusion:
Molecular epidemiology data generated by developing countries, as well as application of their emerging scientific and technologic capacities to generate and validate novel biomarkers and diagnostic kits, will certainly contribute to better treatment of patients with lung cancer worldwide.
