Lung cancer is one of the most incident types of cancer and a leading cause of cancer mortality in Brazil. We reviewed the current status of lung cancer by searching relevant data on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in the country. This review highlights several issues that need to be addressed, including smoking control, patient lack of awareness, late diagnosis, and disparities in the access to cancer health care facilities in Brazil. We propose strategies to help overcome these limitations and challenge health care providers, as well as the society and governmental representatives, to work together and to take a step forward in fighting lung cancer.
肺癌是巴西发病率最高的癌症类型之一，也是癌症死亡的主要原因。我们通过搜索该国有关预防、诊断和治疗的相关数据，对肺癌的现状进行了综述。本综述强调了几个需要解决的问题，包括吸烟控制、患者缺乏认识、诊断延迟以及巴西癌症医疗设施获取方面的差异。我们提出了一些策略，以帮助克服这些限制，并促使医疗保健提供者、社会和政府代表共同努力，在抗击肺癌方面向前迈进。
