The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of lung cancer, highlighting the latest developments and innovations in the field. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to gather relevant articles, clinical studies, and reviews published in the last decade. The search was focused on advancements in diagnostic techniques, treatment modalities, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and supportive care in lung cancer. The review highlights significant advancements in the diagnosis of lung cancer, including the role of advanced imaging techniques, molecular biomarkers, and minimally invasive biopsy methods. In terms of treatment, the review discusses the latest developments in surgical procedures, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, emphasizing the emergence of personalized medicine and novel therapeutic approaches. Additionally, the review addresses the importance of supportive and palliative care in the management of lung cancer, improving patient quality of life and overall survival rates. The review concludes with future perspectives and potential advancements in the field, emphasizing the ongoing research and clinical trials that are shaping the future of lung cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management.
