The most common lung cancers are known to have diverse pathological features and recent research has further identified distinct diseases with genetic and cellular heterogeneity. This lecture will provide strategies for managing this heterogeneity during clinical evaluation and treatment of patients.

Lecture Objectives:

• Define lung cancer heterogeneity.
• Discuss lung cancer heterogeneity.
• Implement treatment decisions based on a patient’s lung cancer heterogeneity.
