Abstract

Monika Leja*

Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including in Lithuania. The treatment of cancer is complex and often involves a combination of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In this article, we will discuss the therapy of Lithuanian cancer patients, including the current state of cancer treatment, challenges facing cancer patients, and potential future developments in cancer therapy. In Lithuania, cancer is the second leading cause of death, after cardiovascular disease. The incidence of cancer has been increasing in recent years, with over 13,000 new cases diagnosed in 2018. The most common types of cancer in Lithuania are lung, breast, and colorectal cancer.
