... continued from page 48 [Global burden of lung cancer]

•Reductions in lung cancer mortality in economically developed countries reflect decreased incidence (mirroring declines in tobacco smoking) and improvements in treatment of patients with advanced-stage disease, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies.

•In low-income and middle-income countries at the later stages of the tobacco epidemic, both lung cancer incidence and mortality are increasing, thus highlighting the importance of tobacco mitigation policies for reducing the global burden of lung cancer.

•Low-dose CT-based lung cancer screening reduces lung cancer mortality, although adoption of lung cancer screening programmes has been slow, with limited uptake compared with other cancer screening programmes.
