Lung cancer (LC) is one of the most common cancers and one of the major causes of death in cancer patients. Not only the clinical characteristics of a patient, the histological type and grade of a tumor, but also its molecular genetic features are recently of fundamental importance due to the elaboration of a personalized approach to choosing the management tactics for cancer patients. Lung cancer is characterized by various genetic alterations in the tumor growth suppressor genes and oncogenes, such as HLJ1 (1p31), FHIT (3p14), p16INK4a (9p21), RASSF1A, FUS1, LIMD1, SAMA3B, SEMA3F (3p21), and p53 (17p13). Each histological type is shown to have also its characteristic profile of genetic changes; thus, EGFR and KRAS gene mutations, EML4/ALK translocation, chromosomal rearrangements in the regions 2p, 9p, 14q, and 20 were characteristic for lung adenocarcinomas; FGFR1 and SOX2 gene amplification and chromosomal arrangements in the regions 3p and 17p are shown for squamous cell lung cancer. Studies in the molecular biology of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) give an insight into and evaluate the possibilities of using certain genetic disorders in clinical practice. This review considers molecular genetic changes in NSCLC and their use for the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease and for the determination of susceptibility to targeted therapy.
