Over the past decade, lung cancer management has been reshaped by advances in early detection, treatment, and prevention. Prevention now extends beyond tobacco control to include recognition of non-tobacco risk factors, screening, and incidental nodule programs. Yet progress in primary prevention remains uneven, with marked regional disparities. Smoking prevalence continues to decline and measures to reduce particulate matter exposure are expanding, but the overall global impact remains inconsistent.
