Lung cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to successfully treat, due in large part to the inherent problems with accurately delivering radiation to a moving target (lungs move with every breath).
- Lung cancer is often fatal and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women in the United States.
- An estimated 216,738 new cases are expected in 2007, accounting for about 15% of cancer diagnoses—115,029 among men and 101,709 among women.
