Epidemiological profile of surgical treatment of lung cancer: retrospective analysis, Brazil, 2014-2023
Socioeconomic factors appear to influence access to surgical treatment of lung cancer in Brazil, with significant regional disparities, especially in the North and Northeast regions. The increase in surgical procedures reflects technological advances and public policies, but inequalities in access persist. Investments in infrastructure and equitable policies are essential to address these inequalities.
