| Zusammenfassung: | Lung Cancer is one of the four most frequent malignant neoplasms in the world, and first in mortality. In 2020, lung cancer resulted in roughly 1.8 million deaths globally.

The objective of our review was to compare costs among available countries and identify major cost drivers. |
