According to the WHO morphological classification, non-small cell lung cancer (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, large cell) and small cell lung cancer are distinguished. The pathogenesis of the disease is characterized by invasive tumor growth with metastasis to regional lymph nodes and distant organs. The clinical picture in the early stages often remains asymptomatic, which significantly complicates timely diagnosis. The progression of the disease is accompanied by severe intoxication, respiratory failure and the development of paraneoplastic syndromes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85

Morgagni described autopsy cases in detail. Rudolf Virchow and Laennec made a significant contribution to the study of the disease, developing methods of differential diagnosis. It is interesting to note that until the beginning of the 20th century, the disease was considered rare - the first epidemiological studies in the 1920s showed a sharp increase in the incidence associated with the widespread use of smoking. &quot;Between 1930 and 1950, there was a fivefold increase in the incidence of lung cancer, which coincided with the peak of smoking popularity,&quot; - notes a study in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 2018.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%AD%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Epidemiology (statistics of disease occurrence)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), about 2.2 million new cases of the disease are registered annually.
