​ Healthy cells reproduce at at normal and then die off and then more cells are reproduced again.Lung cancer develops when cells reproduce at an excellerated rate, creating a tumor. There are two types of tumors, benign and maligant. Benign tumors can usally be removed and tend not to spread throught the body. Malignant tumors grow aggresively and can invade other tissues of the body. Lung cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer. Women tend to be at a greater risk of developing lung cancer and scientist believe this is because this is due to their genetic makeup. Smoking and being exposed to chemicals can increase chances of lung cancer. Some symptoms of lung cancer are shortness in breath, coughing up blood, constant chest pain, whezzing and hoarness in voice. Chest X-rays, CAT scans and MRI's are common ways a doctor may check for lung cancer.
