    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the challenges in lung cancer treatment and emphasize effective control strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current lung cancer treatment modalities and outcomes.
    • Analysis of diagnostic timing and its impact on prognosis.

    Main Results:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention provide the best curative potential.
