Why do so many oncology companies focus on NSCLC first?

Great question! NSCLC is one of the most common types of lung cancer and has a high mortality rate. It's also a disease where we've made significant progress in recent years in terms of new treatments and targeted therapies. By focusing on NSCLC, oncology companies can make a big impact on public health while also potentially generating revenue to fund further research and development. #medicalinformation #researchstudies
You're absolutely right that NSCLC is a common starting point for oncology companies. Another reason is that lung cancer has a complex genetic makeup, which means that there are many potential targets for new therapies. By focusing on NSCLC, oncology companies can explore these genetic targets and potentially develop new treatments that can be applied to other types of cancer as well. #cancergenetics #targetedtherapies
As a cancer survivor, I'm grateful for all the progress that's been made in NSCLC research. It's important to remember, though, that there are many other types of cancer that also need attention and funding. I hope that oncology companies will continue to explore new treatments for all types of cancer, not just the most common ones. #cancersupport #oncologyawareness
