Breakthrough Drug 'Melts Away' Lung Cancer
A breakthrough drug treatment may stop a form of non-small cell lung cancer in its tracks, according to the University of Colorado Cancer Center.
Although the drug doesn’t actually cure the disease, it turns a certain death sentence into a chronic but manageable condition.
This type of lung cancer is characterized by molecular changes in the tumor that drives its growth. It kills 20,000 Americans every year, but a new oral drug called an “ALK inhibitor” brings it to a standstill.
In effect, the revolutionary drug “melts away” this subtype of lung cancer, raising the prospect that similar drugs for other forms of lung cancer also may be found.
