Primary lung cancer is the most common malignancy after non-melanocytic skin cancer, and the leading cause of human cancer deaths worldwide [1]. While it has been the most important cause of cancer mortality in men since the 1960s, it has equaled breast cancer as a cause of mortality in women since the 1990s. Lung cancer is still increasing both in prevalence and mortality worldwide. In developed countries, the latter has begun to decline in men, reflecting a decrease in smoking, and is reaching a plateau for women in most European countries and in the United States—where lung cancer death rates in women are approaching those of men. Lung cancer deaths in women are expected to increase (+ 7%) in the EU in 2012 [2].
