Abstract
Lung cancers are common cancers and have a very poor prognosis. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in France and worldwide.

Meanwhile, the detection of genetic abnormalities driving carcinogenesis has totally changed our approach. Tumors are now classified according to their molecular profile which is itself associated with new demographic data. We here propose to present the last recent data on this topic.
