[Questions and Answers in Lung Cancer].

ABSTRACT: Over the past 2 decades, scientific evidence has strongly supported the use of low-radiation dose chest computed tomography (CT) as a screening technique for lung cancer. This approach has resulted in a significant reduction in mortality rates by enabling the detection of early-stage lung cancer amenable to potentially curative treatments. Regarding diagnosis, there are also novel methods under study, such as liquid biopsy, identification of the pulmonary microbiome, and the use of artificial intelligence techniques, which will play a key role in the near future. At present, there is a growing trend towards less invasive surgical procedures, such as segmentectomy, as an alternative to lobectomy. This procedure is based on 2 recent clinical trials conducted on peripheral tumors measuring le
