It is the fifth most common cancer in Australia, with thousands of Australians diagnosed with the disease each year. The estimated number of new cases of lung cancer diagnosed in 2022 is 14,529 of which 7,707 are males and 6,822 are females. We speak with Dr Salah Amedi from Perth about lung cancer and its causes.
