Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is associated with smoking in its development and comprises about 20–30% of all lung cancers. Its treatment strategy had been limited for the past decades, inevitably resulting in the poor outcome. However in the 2010s, it has dramatically changed mainly with the recent clinical introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this review, we will introduce various clinical studies involving squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
