Inhibition of the Hedgehog pathway in Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality globally and is classified as either Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) upon pathology review. [1,2] The main histologic types of NSCLC include squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. [2] The majority of patients have non-curable disease stage at the time of diagnosis. Advances in systemic treatments including chemotherapy, targeted therapies and immune check point inhibitors have improved prognosis in recent years.
