 * Lung cancer usually starts in the lining of the bronchi but can also start in other parts of the lungs.
 * Lung cancer takes many years to develop
 * Changes that happen in the lungs dont show up on x-rays and do not form a tumor at first
 * As time goes by, a tumor forms and is eventually large enough to show up on an x-ray
 * Cancer cells eventually break off and spread before it is found and that is why its life threatening
 * Two types of lung cancer-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
 * 8 out of 9 cases of lung cancer are Non-Small Lung Cancer.
 * Smoking (causes 9 out of 10 cases of lung cancer)
 * Second Hand Smoke
