- Advexin, a genetic therapy that contains the p53 tumor-suppressor gene, is showing promise. A 2006 study in Japan found that out of 13 patients with advanced NSCLC receiving Advexin, 10 had stabilized. Advexin is in Phase II clinical trials for NSCLC.
- Studies are finding that NSCLC tumors in people who never smoked have a much higher rate of epithelial growth-factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

- Radiation therapy in children with cancer increases the risk of new brain and spinal cord tumors, suggests a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk appears to increase along with the radiation dosage. Children who receive radiotherapy before age 5 are especially at risk for second primary tumors.
- Survivors of childhood brain tumors who received cranial radiotherapy as part of their treatment are at risk for later having a stroke, indicates a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
