November is Lung Cancer Awareness month. Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with more than 2.1 million cases, according to the American Lung Association.
Advancements in lung cancer management, from early diagnosis through treatment are improving patient outcomes.
"Lung cancer is not a death sentence anymore," says Dr. Rami Manochakian, a Mayo Clinic thoracic oncologist and lung cancer specialist. "There is a lot that can be done for patients with lung cancer."
