Abstract:
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world, either in terms of incidence or mortality, and it is still increasing in particular in the developing world and among women. The vast majority of lung cancers are due to tobacco smoking and therefore primary prevention through efficient tobacco control is possible. Occupational carcinogens are also recognised and the role of environmental exposures remains to be defined.
