PY - 2016 T2 - The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology, 3e AB - Lung cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer, after breast and prostate cancers, but it is the most common cause of cancer-related death (1). Every year, 1.5 million patients die of lung cancer worldwide (1). About 70% of patients will be diagnosed with advanced stages that are not amenable to curative therapies. Only 15% of all patients diagnosed with lung cancer are alive 5 years after diagnosis.
