Brief description Over one million cases of lung cancer are diagnosed each year worldwide, making this the leading cause of cancer death. Advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more than 80% of lung cancer cases. We have identified a protein called ?III-tubulin that is often highly expressed in aggressive and drug resistant NSCLC, and is involved in tumour formation. We will examine how ?III-tubulin is working and identify ways to target this protein to stop tumour growth.
