Abstract:
Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate in the world and is the most common cancer type in Asiancountries. In developed countries, new cases and lung cancer among women tend to increase, while in less developed countries, the death rate of this cancer is high and its prevalence is higher among males.
Moreover, in many studies conducted in recent years worldwide, a sample of the studies containing early detection, diagnosis, and treatment that can be implemented at the national level was translated and compiled.
Improvement of public health education, availability of health care services, an increase of human resource capacity, implementation of early detection programs among the public, and early detection with a reduced dose of KTG among the target group are expectations of the public health sector. Special attention should be paid to issues such as reducing smoking among the people of Mongolia, immediately solving the problem of air pollution in central areas, assessing and reducing the risk factors of occupational diseases of mining workers, and introducing modern methods of treatment and diagnosis in health care services. The time has come to take multifaceted measures to prevent lung cancer, which has a high global disease burden and economic burden, with public participation.
