Mortality Reduction With Lowdose ct Screening For Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer and remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.

As a result, there has been great interest in and research on early detection of lung cancer through screening.

Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women. However, since the first edition of Lung Cancer was published 14 years ago, rapid progress in the biology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease has been made.

This book meets the experience of several researchers who dedicate many hours a day to find not only the cure of lung cancer but also the way to convert the pathology of this chronic disease.

This volume is dedicated to colorectal cancer that remains a major health issue for many developed regions around the world.
