Abstract

Lung cancer is a more common pathology than we believe at the global and national levels with a low survival rate. Its main risk factor is undoubtedly the smoking, which generates this neoplasm as a result of a progression of histological changes. The lung adenocarcinoma represents 45% being this the most frequent histological type. Its late clinical presentation makes more than half significant beneficial effect. Currently the most used technique in the diagnosis of lung cancer is multislice computed tomography. Bronchoscopy is the most efficient method for locating an of the patients present advanced disease at the time of diagnosis. Regarding screening, the National Lung Screening Trial found that low-dose helical computed tomography has a statistically endobronchial tumor and obtaining a sample for histological diagnosis. During the last two decades, the use of videothorascopy has gradually replaced open surgery in pleuropulmonar pathology as a diagnostic and treatment method. Introducing the eighth edition of the NWT Classification for lung cancer. Pulmonary resection surgery is the best choice of treatment with curative intentions in patients with non-small lung cancer; in this review we cite treatment according to their stage.
