Abstract:
Lung cancer, a malignant cancer with highest death rate, severely threats the people's health. 80% lung carcinomas are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent studies have found that estrogen system has close relationship with the biological behaviors of NSCLC. Meanwhile, the level of estrogen influences the progression of disease and the prognosis of lung cancer patients. As a result, estrogen pathway has become a hot target in NSCLC treatment. This paper reviews the recearch advances of estrogen system in NSCLC treatment.
