Review[Advance of lung cancer screening with low-dose spiral CT].
Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer mortality globally, and 5-year survival rate is very poor. Screening and early detection are vital to improve survival and decrease mortality of lung cancer. ⋯ However, there are still some problems of LDCT. In this paper, we summarized the controversy that whether low-dose helical CT screening can reduce lung cancer mortality or not before its effectiveness was been confirmed, the results and problems in the randomized controlled trials and gave a prospect of low-dose helical CT screening's future application.

[Efficacy of chemotherapy after EGFR-TKIs resistance in 191 patients with Unknow EGFR gene mutation in advanced lung adenocarcinoma].
Subsequent chemotherapy were needed in patients with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma experiencing disease progression after epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) treatment. The study is to explore factors potentially influencing efficacy of subsequent chemotherapy. ⋯ The patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma might get benefits from pemetrexed-based or platinum-based chemotherapy after they were EGFR-TKIs resistace.
