Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the Western world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lung cancer kills about 1 million people worldwide each year. in the United States in 1997, lung cancer accounted for 13% of new cancer cases, and 32% of cancer deaths in males and 17% of cancer deaths in females (1).
