In today’s health care systems, ethical considerations are routinely addressed on a wide range of topics, from bedside decision-making to institutional policy. Ethicists are well integrated into health care teams and often use decision-making frameworks and strategies to support health professionals in navigating tough decisions.

New treatments for advanced lung cancer
Posted on Monday, January 13, 2025 02:46 PM
Non-small-cell lung cancer is a complex disease that accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases with many patients diagnosed at later stages. Research has identified various genetic mutations, known as oncogenic alterations, that drive the disease. Recently treatments targeting these specific genetic changes have significantly improved patient outcomes.
While therapies for well-known mutations are well-established, a recently published review titled, The continually evolving landscape of...
