Russia has found a way to detect lung cancer at an early stage 2-3 times more often.
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of death from cancer in Russia due to late diagnosis. In the vast majority of patients, about 75%, the disease is detected at stage III or IV, unlike other cancers. The insidious nature of lung cancer lies in the fact that it is asymptomatic in the early stages, as there are no pain receptors in the lung tissue. The first symptoms, such as coughing or shortness of breath, appear when the tumor reaches a significant size.
