Description du livre
This book describes the pathologic conditions of drug-induced lung injuries, monitoring strategies, and guides on how to interpret the evidence. It also dives into particular drugs that caused the disorder, such as EGFR inhibitors, anti-EGFR antibodies, mTOR inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, neoangiogenesis inhibitors, and other molecular targeted drugs. It outlines the analysis and interpretation of the post-marketing survey on surveillance of each drug for inducing pulmonary lesions presenting diffuse haziness. The data and analysis from this survey are valuable since a guideline is yet to be established due to limited clinical evidence and cases. As new drugs are developed, establishing treatment and event management is crucial. Thus, Drug-induced Pulmonary Disorder in Medical Oncology - Expert Opinion to Decipher Big Data summarizes the accumulated information to provide a foundation for further research advancement. The book offers a refreshing alternative to current approaches to medical oncology and respiratory diseases professionals and will also attract medical affairs members in global pharmaceutical companies.
