Lung Cancer Incidence
Lung cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the cells of the lungs and occurs when abnormal cells grow and divide uncontrollably. It is one of the leading causes of cancer death, accounting for more than 1.7 million deaths worldwide every year. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to successful outcomes for lung cancer patients. Screening, including imaging and sputum cytology, can help to detect lung cancer at an earlier stage, improving survival rates and quality of life. Targeted therapies, such as EGFR therapy and ALK inhibitors, can also be used to treat certain forms of advanced lung cancer.
