Abstract

The poor prognosis associated with lung cancer has stimulated substantial effort directed toward lung cancer prevention. As smoking prevention and cessation have proven difficult to achieve, many chemoprevention trials have been done during the last few decades. Such trials have focused on lung cancer survivors and high-risk groups including current and former heavy smokers with or without COPD. The aims of these trials were to reduce lung cancer incidence as well as to reduce/reverse premalignant changes in the bronchial epithelium. Unfortunately, till now all the chemoprevention clinical trials have failed to show any clinical or histologic benefit with respect to lung cancer.

This chapter reviews the chemoprevention trials that have been done in the last few decades, analyzes the reasons for their failure, and reviews the future directions and the targeted therapy that may be potentially relevant in the chemoprevention of lung cancer.
