Study Notes

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer in both men and women in France.
The incidence of lung cancer and its mortality tend to decrease in men, but increase in women.
The cause of these variations is the time lag between the evolution of smoking practices and the appearance of cancers related to smoking.
Tobacco is the leading cause of lung cancer and other environmental or occupational factors can also cause the development of the cancer.
Combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy is more effective in treating advanced lung cancer than using either therapy alone.
The "mutational load" is a new patient selection criterion being used by BMS that measures the number of mutations in a series of critical genes in the tumor.
The correlation between the number of mutations and the likelihood of a patient responding to immunotherapy is not perfect, but this new patient selection criterion is still being studied.
