Lung cancer is a major health problem and the leading cause of cancer-induced death in both men and women worldwide. Radiologic imaging, particularly chest radiographs and CT, is widely used and essential during the diagnosis and management of lung cancer.



The Korean Society of Thoracic Radiology (KSTR) plans to make a book focusing on lung cancer, and our plan is very meaningful under circumstances where considerable and recent international changes are emerging regarding lung cancer. This new book “Imaging of Lung Cancer” contains all knowledge about radiologic imaging of lung cancer and this book will be a beloved reference book for all medical doctors who are dealing with lung cancer.



I would like to appreciate all authors and publishing committee of KSTR, and particularly Dr. Jeong Geun Yi, an Editor-in-chief of publishing committee.

President of KSTR







Preface



“Imaging of Lung Cancer” is here for the people who have sincere concern about the health of lung cancer patients. This book will provide radiologists, pulmonologists, medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists and pathologists with one volume reference of imaging of thoracic tumors. As the name of the book implies, this work focuses on the imaging findings of lung cancer, such as, of radiography, CT, PET-CT and MRI.

Radiology residents-in-training would benefit more than any other people from this book about thoracic malignant diseases. Residents acquire their knowledge and acumen about lung cancer through reading the concise, succinct paragraphs and observing the figures, typical and various, of high quality.

From the new WHO classifications of lung cancers, this book informs you the 7th ed. TNM staging with clear-cut CT images, and the general imaging characteristics of lung cancer, various thoracic metastases and, finally the pleural diseases. In addition, we also have added benign thoracic tumors as a supplement to help you further understand the malignant lesions.

Our effort was particularly focused on your easy, simple and clear understanding of the paragraphs about lung cancer and the imaging figures of thoracic neoplasms. We know the importance of up-to-date references in your works, so we referred almost every new articles from the journals. But, we also recognize how fast the time flies and how soon the new references are becoming old ones.

We welcome your satisfactory or advisory comments, telling that how this “Imaging of Lung Cancer” has been helpful to you.
