Sumario:In the present issue of Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra, Rico et al summarize the progress in key areas of the radiotherapeutic strategies to fight against advanced lung cancer1. Progress in radiotherapy strategies for lung cancer management has been remarkable in the last decade. We will devote some comments in the present editorial to these achievements. Nevertheless, radiotherapy (RT) has been only one of the many areas that have benefited from successful basic, translational and clinical research in lung cancer during the last decade. In the following paragraphs, we will very briefly mention some of these breakthroughs and seminal achievements that have improved the survival prospects of lung cancer patients in the decade from 2010 to 2020.
