EasyChair Preprint 12788

Abstract

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early detection plays a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes and survival rates. This abstract highlights the significance of identifying methods and techniques for the early detection of lung cancer, focusing on various imaging technologies, biomarkers, and screening programs.

Imaging technologies, such as chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans, have revolutionized the early diagnosis of lung cancer. These modalities enable the visualization and characterization of lung abnormalities, facilitating the detection of cancerous lesions at their early stages. The advancements in imaging resolution, sensitivity, and specificity have significantly contributed to improving the accuracy of lung cancer detection.

In addition to imaging technologies, the identification and validation of biomarkers have emerged as promising approaches for early lung cancer detection. Biomarkers, including genetic mutations, circulating tumor cells, and specific proteins, can be detected through non-invasive techniques such as blood tests or exhaled breath analysis. These biomarkers provide valuable insights into the presence of lung cancer and its progression, aiding in early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies.
