[Matthew Smeltzer @MattSmeltzer]

Dr. G. Carmona De Souza GLOBOCAN analysis:

➡️ Lung cancer burden will nearly double by 2050

➡️ Female burden rising faster

➡️ Low and medium HDI countries face the largest increases

We need equitable targeted prevention, screening

Now at #WCLC25 - Smoking is an important prognostic factor that adds to information provided by anatomical staging.
