Abstract

Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of lung tumor diagnoses. Squamous cell lung cancer (SQCLC) is a common pathological type, almost 20%-30% of NSCLC. Surgery, chemotherapy, and molecular targeted therapies are the mainstay of treatment for patients with SQCLC. But most patients are diagnosed at advanced stage so that they miss the chance of operation. While noteworthy outcomes have improved with adenocarcinoma of lung with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), a therapeutic plateau for advanced squamous cell lung cancer patients are still not solved. EGFR-TKIs are unsuitable for or mostly ineffective in advanced SQCLC. Patients with advanced SQCLC ramain treated with platinum based chemotherapy. This reciew systematicly describe the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.

肺癌是全世界肿瘤死亡的首要原因,肺鳞癌(squamous cell lung cancer, SQCLC)作为肺癌的一种常见的病理类型,全世界每年约40余万人因其致死。其常规治疗方法主要包括手术治疗、化学治疗和分子靶向治疗。但是大多数患者确诊的时候已经是晚期,失去了手术的机会。尽管分子靶向治疗在肺腺癌的治疗中具有里程碑式的作用,但是对肺鳞癌而言,尚无特异性的分子靶标药物,因此,对于晚期肺鳞癌的标准治疗仍是含铂双药方案。而大多数患者经历了一线、二线治疗失败后都面临无药可用的状态。本文旨在对晚期肺鳞癌的常规治疗进行系统性的综述,探讨晚期肺鳞癌的治疗方案以及发展方向。.
