Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women worldwide, and it's also the most common cancer in India, accounting for 12.4% of new cases and almost 19% of cancer deaths. The disease is especially prevalent among smokers, who are 20 times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers. Unfortunately, the disease often goes undetected until it is advanced, at which point treatment options are limited and less effective. However, recent advancements in medical imaging techniques, particularly low dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans, have shown promise in detecting lung cancer at its most treatable stage.
