Targeted molecular therapies, mainly enzyme inhibitors and humanized antibodies, are being widely developed, especially in the area of lung cancer. Though often considered to be better tolerated than conventional cytotoxic chemotherapies, targeted molecular therapies induce specific toxicities that may have detrimental effects on the quality of life. We sum up various toxicities from targeted treatment available for lung cancer in France with the aim of improving their prevention, diagnosis and management.
