Lung cancer is malignant neoplasia arising from the cells of the lung, and it is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It is broadly divided into two principal categories, non-small-cell lung cancer, which includes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, and small cell lung cancer, an aggressive neuroendocrine form, the two differing in biology, growth pattern, and treatment. Tobacco smoking is the dominant risk factor and accounts for the majority of cases, while additional contributors include second-hand smoke, occupational and environmental carcinogens such as radon and asbestos, air pollution, and genetic susceptibility, all relevant to the epidemiology and prevention of the disease. Pathogenesis proceeds through accumulated genetic and epigenetic alterations that disrupt growth control and promote invasion and metastasis to sites including the adrenal glands, brain, bone, and liver. Strategies for prevention, screening, and early detection aim to reduce incidence and mortality, while stage-directed management combines surgery, radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, molecularly targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, supported by adjunctive care such as nutritional support in cachexia. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to this area, with work addressing methods for prevention, diagnosis, and management of lung cancer, surgical resection strategies alongside immunotherapy, adrenal metastasis, the influence of statins and anticoagulants, biomarker detection platforms, and nutritional support in cachexia, reflecting epidemiological, preventive, therapeutic, and supportive dimensions of lung cancer.
