Objective:
To determine how lung cancer mortality differ by region in Brazil and whether these differences correlate with patient sex, income inequality and number of physicians involved in lung cancer treatment.
Results:
Female sex, year of death and higher number of broncoesophalogists were all associated with lower mortality (p < 0.05), whereas a higher number of family medicine doctors, thoracic surgeons, pneumologists and a higher average income were associated with higher mortality rates (p < 0.05).

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
