Recent developments and advances in secondary prevention of lung cancer

Eur J Cancer Prev. 2020 Jul;29(4):321-328. doi: 10.1097/CEJ.0000000000000586.

Abstract

Lung cancer prevention may include primary prevention strategies, such as corrections of working conditions and life style - primarily smoking cessation - as well as secondary prevention strategies, aiming at early detection that allows better survival rates and limited resections. This review summarizes recent developments and advances in secondary prevention, focusing on recent technological tools for an effective early diagnosis.
