Abstract:
While genomic studies of lung adenocarcinomas over the past decade have enabled substantial improvements in treatment and patient outcomes, advances in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung have been far more modest. At present there are no targeted agents approved for the treatment of squamous cell lung cancers and there has been limited success in the use of targeted kinase inhibition in this disease. Here, I will review the results of genomic studies of squamous cell carcinomas and highlight the molecular features which drive these cancers and make them distinct from lung adenocarcinomas. I will discuss specific subtypes of squamous cancers, animal models of the disease and associations among genomic features and patient outcomes. I will discuss therapeutically relevant genetic alterations and efforts aimed at exploring these targets both pre-clinically and clinically with an emphasis on FGFR pathway genes. I will discuss heterogeneity and adaptive responses to therapy in squamous cell carcinomas as potential challenges to the treatment paradigms which have been successful in adenocarcinomas and these concepts in the context of the recent introduction of immunotherapeutic approaches.
