Abstract

In 2004, an estimated 173,700 Americans were diagnosed with lung cancer; of these, about 164,440 (95%) will die of their disease. Despite decades of research, the prognosis for lung cancer remains dismal, with a 5-year survival rate of 14%. Nonetheless, benefits have been realized for most patients, mainly through improved quality of life and some prolonged survival. Importantly, lung cancer can be curable if detected in its early stages.
