Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In India, one-third of all cancer cases and deaths are due to lung cancer. The majority of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is usually diagnosed at late stages. Diagnosis involves ruling out tuberculosis through pathological or cytological confirmation of lung cancer. Staging workup includes CT scans and PET scans to determine if the cancer has spread. Treatment depends on stage and type but may include surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy.
