Lung Cancer Market to Grow to 100 Million People
At the China Lung Cancer Summit held in Beijing, experts predict that in 12 years China is likely to lead the world in lung cancer. Experts say smoking is one of the major causes of high lung cancer. Air pollution is a leading cause of lung cancer, according to a new report from the cancer agency of the World Health Organization (Source: WHO).

Lung cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer are the three most common types of cancer in China. Lung cancer has become China’s leading cancer cause of death, with its morbidity and mortality rate increasing rapidly in the past decade since the expansion.

Experts predict that by 2025, China’s lung cancer patients will reach 100 million people, becoming the world’s number one lung cancer power.
