Abstract
Despite significant progress in diagnosis and treatment, lung cancer remains a disease with significant economic and health burdens. Globally, the latest data from the WHO World Cancer Report indicate that there were an estimated 1.8 million lung cancer deaths (20% of total cancer deaths) in 2012, making it the leading cause of cancer death in men in 87 countries and women in 26 countries [1].
