WHAT IS LUNG CANCER

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the lungs. It is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The primary cause of lung cancer is smoking, including both active and passive smoking.

Other risk factors include exposure to radon gas, asbestos, and certain chemicals. Symptoms may include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss.

Early detection through screenings and treatment options like surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy can improve outcomes for individuals with lung cancer.
