Abstract

This work aims at describing the wide variety of questions relative to the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer; it shows how the advent of new results induces new questions, as well as the diversity of clinical research directions. Lung cancer represents a model of organization of multimodal therapeutic algorithms, the ultimate aim being the therapeutic optimization of the most frequent cancer.
