- Lung cancer persists throughout the world, but wide disparities in care exist, particularly between developing countries and advanced industrial nations. Even developing countries with high-growth economics face obstacles not often encountered in developed nations. Screening is not as widely available, so diagnoses often come late, decreasing survival rates. Brazil and China are two examples of high-growth developing countries facing challenges in delivering lung cancer care, as revealed at the 2012 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago. Here, Goozner discusses lung cancer care in Brazil and China.
