Lung cancer has increased in importance as a cause of death over the last 60 years. It is now the commonest cancer in the UK, causing over 40,000 deaths per annum or an average of 110 per day. This review considers further aspects of epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features and discusses how we may better select the few who can be cured, so that the remainder receive more appropriate palliative therapy.
