Among the different cancer types, lung cancer is the most lethal type worldwide, claiming more than a million and a half lives annually. As the incidence increases, it is expected that around 150 million individuals will die in the 21st century. Therefore, international efforts to prevent lung cancer and improve the outcome of patients in whom lung cancer has been diagnosed should be a top health care priority. Sharing statistics and information on lung cancer burden and management approaches from different countries will help this cause.
