Vorinostat and romidepsin, known as the first generation of HDAC inhibitors, were approved in the United States for the treatment of T-cell lymphomas. Preliminary activity of HDAC inhibitors has also been observed in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) in combination with the existing treatment regimens, of which is the focus of the current review.展开更多
