Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for approximately 85% of all cases
Lung cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages when treatment options are limited.
Screening high risk individuals has the potential to allow early detection and to dramatically improve survival rates.
Primary prevention (such as tobacco control measures and reducing exposure to environmental risk factors) can reduce the incidence of lung cancer and save lives.
