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.
