Abstract

Last year in Brazil, lung cancer was the third most common tumor in men and the fourth in women, without counting non-melanoma skin cancer. It is the first in the world in incidence among men and the third among women. When we talk about mortality, it is the first among the male audience and the second among the female audience. But what are its main causes? Did COVID-19 contribute to the increase in cases of this neoplasm?
