Abstract
diagnosis and treatment, the incidence of lung cancer remains high both in Turkey and worldwide, and it is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths.1 When we evaluate Turkey, according to the age-standardized cancer rate in males, lung cancer occupies first place with 57.7%, and in females, it is at fifth place with 9.8%. 80% of lung cancer cases are nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), most of them are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and only 19% of patients can live for five years or longer.2 The dominant histological subtype in NSCLC is adenocarcinoma both in the world and in Turkey (47.1%).3
