Article Title: Occult lung cancer treatment
Abstract: Occult lung carcinomas are rare and provide a particular challenge for treatment. They are lesions not evident on routine chest roentgenogram and chest computed tomography. Surgical resection remains the gold standard for the treatment of occult lung primaries; however, for nonsurgical candidates, multiple promising treatment strategies are on the horizon.
