Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is 1 of 2 main types of lung cancer.
It develops from epithelial cells that line the lung airways and sacs, some of which produce mucus that lubricates and protects the lung.
Cancer cells use a variety of ways to avoid the bodys natural defensethe immune systemto continue to grow, invade, and spread.
In various types of NSCLC, molecular interactions between PD-1 on our immune systems T-cells and PD-L1 on cancer cells drive whether or not the bodys immune system will attack a cancer cell.
This program will look at the cellular underpinnings of NSCLC, as well as agentsknown as checkpoint inhibitorsthat target PD-1 or PD-L1 for improved management of this condition.
