AB In  2009,  over  215,000  cases  of  lung  cancer  were  anticipated  which  represented  15%  of  all  cancer  diagnoses.  Lung  cancer  is  the  second  leading  cancer  diagnosis  in  men  and  women  behind  prostate  cancer  and  breast  cancer,  respectively,  with  a  slightly  higher  prevalence  of  lung  cancer  diagnosis  in  men  as  compared  to  women.  However,  the  incidence  of  lung  cancer  in  men  is  declining  while  the  incidence  in  women  is  increasing.  In  2009,  over  161,000  deaths  attributed  to  lung  cancer  were  anticipated  which  makes  lung  cancer  the  leading  cause  of  death  secondary  to  cancer  in  both  sexes.1
