New studies suggest that abnormal genes associated with lung tumors might be treated with new drug therapies that could help to stop tumor cell growth.
Research is currently underway to develop such drug therapies.
Other research suggests that monoclonal antibodies can be used to destroy cancer cells. Researchers are also exploring whether stimulation of the immune system with natural substances such as interform and interleukin-2 might help combat lung cancer and other forms of cancer. Fortunately, medical experts are working to improve treatment options for lung cancer. The NIH's website explains what a clinical trial is and lists lung cancer clinical trials being held around the country.
