Ninth in the world "International concerns on lung cancer," the dawn, " 'easy' minute action" advocates, Capital University of Medical Director of the Center of lung cancer treatment, Professor Zhi Xiuyi appeal, calling for more medical workers involved in lung cancer, " 'Easy' minutes of action, "for lung cancer prevention and control knowledge of science, enlisting the patient to obtain a longer survival time and a better quality of life.

China's first lung cancer prevention and treatment expert as the main body to the theme of the popular doctor-patient communication missionary project "Zhi Ji lung cancer - 'Easy' minutes of action", since inception in April 2009, has started eight cities across the country, rise to the relevant experts and lung cancer in patients with a strong focus and resonance.

Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, director of thoracic surgery Professor Li Danqing, said: "In the cancer mechanism that smoking caused lung cancer, go 'K-ras approach', mostly for squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma; non-smoking caused lung cancer is go 'the human epidermal growth factor receptor pathway', many non-small cell lung cancer. walk the road of lung cancer is not sensitive to chemotherapy drugs, chemotherapy, only 30% efficiency to 40%, at present there is no very effective targeted therapy ; while walking human epidermal growth factor receptor on this road apart from chemotherapy of lung cancer, there are quite effective targeted therapy drugs. "

A clinical trial results show that the occurrence of human epidermal growth factor-receptor gene mutations in lung cancer patients to targeted drugs such as Iressa and other highly sensitive, and that Asian patients with non-small cell lung cancer of human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation in the incidence of 30% to 40% higher than the European 10% to 15%. Which genetic mutations in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer was diagnosed in early stage on the selection of target-specific drug treatment.
