Primary lung cancer remains the most common malignancy after non-melanocytic skin cancer, and deaths from lung cancer exceed those from any other malignancy worldwide [1]. In 2012, lung cancer was the most frequently diagnosed cancer in males with an estimated 1.2 million incident cases worldwide. Among females, lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer death in more developed countries and the second leading cause of cancer death in less developed countries [1]. The highest incidence is found in Central/Eastern Europe and Asia with age-standardised incidence rates of 53.5 and 50.4 per 100 000, respectively. European projections for 2017 indicate a 10.7% drop in 5 years with an incidence of 33.3/100 000 in males and a rise of 5.1% and an incidence of 14.6/100 000 in females [2]. Contrary to the United States, the death rate in females is increasing in Europe [3]. The number of lung cancer-related deaths in Europe for 2017 is estimated to represent the leading cause of cancer deaths in both genders, accounting for 24% in males and 15% in females, respectively [2].Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80%–90% of lung cancers, while small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been decreasing in frequency in many countries over the past two decades [4]. During the last 25 years, the distribution of histological types of NSCLC has changed: in the United States, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), formerly the predominant histotype, decreased, while adenocarcinoma has increased in both genders. In Europe, similar trends have occurred in men, while in women, both SCC and adenocarcinoma are still increasing [5].
