Y1 - 2023 N1 - T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) GLOBOCAN reported a global lung cancer burden of 2.2 million new cases and 1.8 million deaths in 2020 alone.1 These statistics emphasize the harsh reality that lung cancer is a common and highly fatal disease. Nonetheless, the past decade has witnessed remarkable advances in tobacco control, screening and early detection, and treatment, which are contributing toward progress in curtailing the global lung cancer epidemic.
