Abstract
Lung cancer is a major public health problem. In the USA, approximately 220,000 patients are diagnosed annually and 160,000 die, far more than from prostate or breast cancer (American Cancer Society 2010 Cancer Statistics). Worldwide, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality, and the World Health Organization estimates 1.3 million deaths per year. The 5-year survival rate is only approximately 15%, and this survival has not changed dramatically over the past three decades.
