"Different types of NSCLC respond differently to biological agents. High expression of EGFR in some squamous cell carcinoma patients may benefit from cetuximab (monoclonal antibody against EGFR). However, lung squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving bevacizumab (monoclonal antibody against VEGF) have a high incidence of pulmonary haemorrhage, thus it is only used for non-squamous cell carcinoma NSCLC 7."

"Metastatic disease may be the first sign of malignancy (e.g. cerebral metastasis, pathological fracture, etc)."
