Lung cancer is the leading cause of death among all the oncological diseases worldwide. This applies to both women and men; however, the incidence and mortality among women is on the rise. In 2020, lung cancer was responsible for 1.8 million deaths (18%). More than 90% of lung cancer cases and 77.1% of lung cancer deaths occur in countries with high and very high HDI (human development index) values. The aim of our study is to the present trends and most recent studies aimed at lung cancer screening. In the face of the persistently high mortality rate, conducting research aimed at extending already-implemented diagnostic algorithms and behavioural interventions focused on smoking cessation is recommended.
肺癌是全球范围内所有肿瘤疾病中的首要致死原因,这一现象在男性和女性中均存在,但女性的发病率和死亡率正呈上升趋势。2020年,肺癌导致了180万人死亡,占所有癌症死亡人数的18%。超过90%的肺癌病例和77.1%的肺癌死亡发生在人类发展指数(HDI)处于高或极高水平的国家。本研究旨在探讨当前肺癌筛查的趋势及最新研究进展。面对持续高企的死亡率,建议开展研究以扩展现有诊断方案,并加强以戒烟为重点的行为干预措施。
