Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in many countries. In Japan the mortality of stomach cancer has begun to decrease while that of lung cancer is still increasing (1991: 21% of all cancer deaths in male and 11.5% in female). The reasons for this situation are not only high incidence but also poor prognosis. Significant improvements are expected in all aspects of disease management: detection, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and treatment evaluation.
