Abstract
Lung cancer is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease. Advances in surgical, radiotherapeutic, and chemotherapeutic approaches have been made, but the long-term survival rate remains low. After the Surgeon General's 1964 report on smoking and health, mortality from lung cancer among men peaked and then fell; among women, the peak occurred later and a slight decline has occurred more recently. Lung cancer screening reduces mortality from lung cancer. We will discuss recent updates on guidelines, lung cancer screening and management of early detected lung cancer.
