Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer related deaths in the US with an estimated 160.000 deaths in 2008. Despite new therapies, the overall five year survival remains at 15%. It is likely that new techniques for early identification, improved understanding of the molecular heterogeneity that exists in lung cancer and novel targeted therapies will all contribute to increasing survival. Historically, lung cancer diagnosis and management has involved oncologists and surgeons with very little role for the pulmonologist.
