Annual Evidence Update on Lung Cancer: 17-21 November 2008

An update of the evidence on this topic from the NLH Cancer Specialist Library.

The Cancer Specialist Library will launch its Lung Cancer Annual Evidence Update on 17th November 2008. The update has been divided into sections which will consider:

• Causes, risks and prevention
• Screening
• Assessment and diagnosis
• Service delivery and standards
• Treatment and disease management - Biological therapy
• Treatment and disease management - Chemotherapy
• Treatment and disease management - Radiotherapy
• Treatment and disease management - Surgery
• Treatment and disease management - Symptomatic therapy
• Other therapies
• Palliative care
• Psychosocial, quality of life and follow-up

The resources included in the update are mostly systematic reviews and some guidance published in the preceding year (2007-2008). Where possible we will provide links to the full text and where these are not available to the abstract. The Cancer Specialist Library conducts on-going literature searches and the resources presented in the Annual Evidence Update are the most recently published material that has been indexed in the international databases we search. We welcome feedback about the resources included in this update - do contact us if you would like to comment.
