Abstract

Background: cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world. In 2012, there were 14 million of new cases, as well as 8.2 million related deaths. Within all cancer locations, the lung is the one with the highest incidence and mortality for men and in the case of women, it occupies the second place.
Objective: to carry out an update on epidemiological aspects of diagnosis, as well as the treatment of lung cancer at a global, regional and local level.
Methods: a search on Pub Med, Scielo, Medline, Cochrane, Lilacs databases using EndNote and Clinical Key was carried out, from September 1 to December 15, 2017. The following keywords were used: lung cancer, epidemiology, diagnostic, treatment, screening. A bibliographic review of a total of 302 articles was made, of them 40 citations were used, most of them from the last three and five years. Original articles, full-text reviews, as well as opinion articles were considered for the review.
Development: aspects of lung cancer, related to global, regional and local statistics, as well as impact indicators, aspects related to early diagnosis through screening and novel elements of clinical trials related to the application of the vaccine CIMAvax-EGF were addressed.
Conclusions: with the high contribution of lung cancer to morbidity and general mortality in Cuba and in particular in Camagüey province, as well the negative consequent impact on the duration and quality of life of the population, it is considered necessary to design a comprehensive organizational assistance program to care for patients with this terrible and lethal disease.
