In Hungary, around 10,000 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed every year and around nine thousand people die from the disease, even though there is a good chance of curing lung cancer if it is detected at an early stage. The latest research findings and state-of-the-art treatment options for lung cancer were discussed at a professional symposium held on Monday at the Pulmonology Clinic of the University of Debrecen Clinical Centre in connection with World Cancer Day.
