Delayed Diagnosis in Lung Cancer

Abstract

Lung cancer is cancer that develops from the airway epithelium. It is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide, accounting for up to 13% of all cancer diagnoses. The problems that exist are also the result of a large number of cases that have not been effectively recognized, a lack of systematically documented reports, and delays in diagnosis, all of which result in delays in treatment and a worse prognosis. There are numerous factors that contribute to the problem of lung cancer diagnosis delays. As a result, the precise time of lung cancer patient management must be taken seriously. Keywords: lung cancer, delayed diagnosis, factors
