Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the lung tissue.

Lung cancer can be a very serious and life-threatening condition

Lung cancer can develop in anyone, but it is most commonly found in people who smoke or who have a history of smoking. It can also be caused by exposure to environmental toxins, such as radon gas or asbestos.


Lung cancer can be a very serious and life-threatening condition, but early detection and treatment can greatly improve the chances of successful treatment and recovery.

Symptoms

Lung cancer is a serious condition that affects the lungs and can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early. Some of the common symptoms of lung cancer include

  1. A persistent cough that worsens over time
  2. Shortness of breath or wheezing
  3. Chest pain that is often worse with deep breathing, coughing, or laughing
  4. Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
  5. Fatigue and weakness that do not improve with rest
Not everyone with lung cancer will experience all of these symptoms, and some people may not have any symptoms at all in the early stages of the disease.
Diagnosis

How diagnosis is made?

Lung cancer is usually diagnosed after symptoms occur or during routine screening. Early diagnosis increases the chances of successful treatment.

The diagnosis is made based on the patient's medical history, physical exam, and test results.

Imaging tests

X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans can help identify abnormalities in the lungs.

Biopsy

A small tissue sample is taken from the lung and examined under a microscope to determine if cancer cells are present.
