Lung Cancer
Lung cancer, beginning in the lungs, is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. It’s strongly linked to smoking but can also affect non-smokers. Quitting smoking significantly reduces the risk of developing this cancer.
What is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer originates in the lungs, primarily affecting smokers but also non-smokers. It’s divided into small cell and non-small cell types, each requiring different treatments. Risk factors include smoking, secondhand smoke exposure, radon gas, asbestos, and family history. Early-stage lung cancer often doesn’t show symptoms, but advanced stages can cause persistent cough, coughing up blood, chest pain, and weight loss. Treatment varies based on the type and stage of cancer, incorporating methods like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
