In this sense, they emphasize the importance of individual progress, however, small to fight this disease. ‘They have identified the types and subtypes of tumors in lung cancer, which leads to provide individualized treatment based on the characteristics of each tumor, which have substantially improved the survival and quality of life patients; it is still a long way to go,’ he said.

Diego Villalon, Director of Spanish Group Psychosocial Cancer Patient (GEPAC) also defended access to innovative treatments without cuts but has asked that the research also takes into account the patients. ‘Drugs also need to retain the quality of life of the patient.
