Abstract
-
Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death in both men and women.
-
It is plainly evident for several decades that more than 90% cases of lung cancer are caused by cigaret smoking and the most effective means of controlling lung cancer is prevention by reduction of tobacco use.
-
No survival benefit in the screened population has been shown using presently available screening strategies, even in the high-risk patients.
-
Several new techniques have shown promising results in the early detection of lung cancer, but further studies are needed.
