Abstract
Lung cancer has been the largest cause of cancer deaths worldwide with an overall 5-year survival rate of only 15%. Its symptoms can be detected only in advanced stages where the patient´s chance of survival is very low, thus causing the mortality rate to be the highest among all other types of cancer.
