Lung cancers are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells with small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) being the main types. The estimated deaths from lung cancer is 159,480 (87,260 in men and 72,220 among women), accounting for about 27% of all cancer death. Worldwide, there are 2.28 million new cases of lung cancer annually, with 1.59 million deaths, making lung cancer a leading cause of cancer-related mortality and account for an estimate of about 14% of all new cancer. Tobacco use, particularly of smoking, is the main contributor to lung cancer; however, a significant number of non-smoking individuals are reported with lung cancer. Males show higher mortality rate because of increased risk of lung cancer associated with cigarette smoking [6]. Approximately reporting 63,000 new lung cancer cases each year in India. Impediment in early detection and diagnosis of advanced stage is the main reason for high mortality.
