 * Lung Cancer **

Lung Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. It is the most common form of cancer in woman and a commmon form. Lung cancer is responsible for over 1.3 million deaths. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing and coughing up blood, and weight loss. The two main types of lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. Treatments for these will vary for these, because non-small may be treated with surgery, and small cell works best with chemotherapy and radiation. Using tabacco products and most significantly smoking cigarettes, contribute to over 90% of all lung cancer cases. Those who get lung cancer and DO NOT smoke, will most likely get it by genetics, secondhand smoke, exposure to radon gas and asbestos, or air pollution. Cancer can first be noticed on a CT scan or a chest radiograph as seen here:
