SCREENING AND PREVENTION OF LUNG CARCINOMA
Abstract
For many contemporary authors the early detection and screening of lung cancer is the number one goal of modern medicine in this field, even more important than the discovery of new and adequate treatments. We fully support this statement, because the disease discovered at an early stage is treatable even with the methods and means now available.
