LUNG CANCER |
|
|
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and is most often associated with cigarette smoking, though other causes have been identified. Because many people have no symptoms until the disease has metastasized, screening is recommended for groups at higher risk because of older-age and smoking history. Early detection and classification of lung cancer, with staging to guide selection of interventions, can greatly improve patient outcomes. Recent advances in lung cancer treatment include minimally-invasive-surgical and radiofrequency-ablative techniques, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies.
