Current Scenario for Lung Cancer :
- As per the American Lung Association, there are 422 deaths in the United States alone due to lung cancer.1
- Lung cancer has a higher death rate than colon, prostate, and breast cancer combined! 2
- In the past decade, more women have been observed to suffer from lung cancer. 3
- Smocking alone is not the sole cause of lung cancer as 2/3 of the patients are reported to be non-smokers. 4
- Drugs/Medicines present against lung cancer are not effective, hence, leading to a huge research gap. 5
