Although the incidence of lung cancer has decreased in the United States, Western Europe, and Australia as tobacco control regulations have taken effect, China has increasingly borne more and more of the burden of the lung cancer epidemic, with lung cancer mortality rates increasing significantly between 1990 and 2010. This Special Issue of Cancer was undertaken to examine the state of the art in lung cancer research and tobacco control in China in 2015 in a single issue.
