Abstract:
Lung cancer is one of the commonest of malignant tumor in the world.It is a major threat to human health in China with highest morbidity and mortality.Steady increase in incidence rates have been observed worldwide in the last few decades in young patients,but previous studies have provided conflicting data about the clinical characteristics and prognoses of young patients with lung cancer.Consequently,we have difficulty in comparing their results with each other,as the cutoff ages defining"young"were different in each study.Therefore,this article focuses on the clinical characteristics and the different results of researches for the young patients with primary lung cancer.
