  • Title: Recent developments in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
    Author: Gilligan D.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 1998; 52(5):330-4. PubMed ID: 9796565.
    Abstract:
    Lung cancer is responsible for 25% of all cancer deaths in the UK and it is estimated that over 80% of lung cancers are related to smoking. Despite numerous health education campaigns, large numbers of young people take up smoking, particularly girls. In the past there has been a somewhat nihilistic attitude to the management of lung cancer, but this is changing due to the emergence of sub-specialisation in oncology and the development of new techniques and treatment, which are beginning to show promise.
