Summary:

With increasing emphasis being placed on screening and early prevention in cancer, this textbook examines the various methods and interventions used in screening in lung cancer, and presents a detailed review of the approaches to prevention and treatment of early disease. The book addresses topics such as epidemiology, spiral CT and the role of sputum examination for screening and early detection, and chemoprevention. The book also includes a chapter on international organization of screening programs. IASLC Textbook of Prevention and Early Detection of Lung Cancer will be of particular interest to lung cancer and respiratory medicine specialists.
