In Germany, around 57,500 people develop lung cancer every year. This type of cancer is currently the second most common cancer in men and the third most common in women. At the same time, there is currently no preventive or early detection program in Germany. Symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath or chest pain are ambiguous and usually only appear at an advanced stage. In the podcast, Dr. Tobias Rose, senior physician at the Clinic for General, Visceral and Thoracic Surgery, explains the main causes, development, symptoms, treatment options and gives an outlook on a preventive program that is due to start in Germany in the coming years.
