Current insights into the clinico-pathologic characteristics of lung cancer in women

Lung cancer is responsible for premature cancer deaths in women and is the first cause of cancer deaths in women in many countries. The problem of lung cancer in women seems to be underestimated in many aspects, including low participation in clinical trials and screening tests.

Current research progress has contributed to a better understanding of the issue and makes it possible to describe the problem in a new light. In our paper, the problem of lung cancer in women was discussed in a broad aspect, taking into account women's health, the harmful effects of smoking and the current diagnostic and treatment process. The results of treatment also differ in relation to sex. All these aspects of the diversity of women's lung cancer were presented on the basis of newest and most comprehensive literature.

Lung cancer in women is and will remain an important health problem worldwide, which is justified by epidemiological data, basic research and treatment results.
