Chemoprevention strategies can be used for primary prevention of lung cancer in persons with known high-risk factors, for secondary prevention in persons with disease precursors, or for tertiary prevention in persons with a prior cancer that had been treated with curative intent.
risk of lung cancer. Indoor air pollution is believed to be a risk factor for lung cancer, especially among female non-smokers and in less developed countries. Indoor air pollution is associated with coal combustion in poorly ventilated homes, combustion of wood and other solid fuels (biomass combustion), and the production of
Simulation studies suggest that risk prediction models to determine eligibility for lung cancer screening could be associated with reduced lung cancer deaths and the number of participants needed to screen to prevent 1 lung cancer death.
27 sie 2024 · To develop a possible strategy for the prevention of lung cancer, research was carried out on the three possible levels of prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary). The most important primary prevention measure against lung cancer is undoubtedly tobacco control and smoking prevention.
These data suggest that the risk of lung cancer among smokers, especially in these populations with high tobacco use, is early, durable, and potent. Tobacco dependence is the most accessible and consequential target to reduce the burden of lung cancer worldwide.
