WCLC 2025 | Reducing the global risk of lung cancer from early detection strategies
Laura Mezquita, MD, PhD, Hospital Clinic – IDIBAPS, Barcelona, Spain, emphasizes the importance of early detection in lung cancer prevention, highlighting that primary prevention strategies can be applied globally to limit exposure to carcinogens. However, current efforts should focus on early detection methods, such as lung cancer screening, and further research on mesothelioma. This interview took place at 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in Barcelona, Spain.

So this is an area of important prevention because we can apply primary prevention strategies in every country at a local level and also at a continental level because there are different strategies around the world trying to limit the exposure to these carcinogens, but unfortunately, the population is already exposed. So for these patients, for these future patients, we need to detect this disease earlier...
So this is an area of important prevention because we can apply primary prevention strategies in every country at a local level and also at a continental level because there are different strategies around the world trying to limit the exposure to these carcinogens, but unfortunately, the population is already exposed. So for these patients, for these future patients, we need to detect this disease earlier. So probably, and this is probably because it’s not implemented yet, the strategy will focus on early detection, such as lung cancer screening and detection, and probably more research for mesothelioma.
