Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Historically, lung cancer has been an entity whose indolence in the early stages of the disease led to ominous prognoses at the time of diagnosis in advanced stages.
Scientific and technological developments, multidisciplinary pathways, and the spread and greater accessibility of health care have substantially changed the earliness of diagnosis in this type of cancer.
It seems clear in modern scientific evidence that major areas for improvement are still needed, but some directions for development appear to be defined.
This Special Issue provides a compendium of current indications and the latest innovations that will significantly support the implementation of lung cancer screening programs, from diagnosis to surgery and therapy.
