Dr. Ray O’Connor reviewed recent clinical papers on lung cancer, highlighting advances and challenges in treatment. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the majority of cases and is typically treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, and coffee intake can increase lung cancer risk, while tea intake may be protective. Air pollution, specifically PM2.5, is also associated with lung cancer, with the burden higher in low-SDI regions. Gender differences in lung cancer, lack of female representation in clinical trials, and the importance of lung cancer screening for early detection were also discussed.
