What is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs. It usually grows in the cells that line the airways. The two main types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer is more common and generally grows more slowly than small cell lung cancer. Treatment for lung cancer varies depending on the type and stage of the disease, and includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these methods.

Causes of Lung Cancer

The causes of lung cancer are not well understood, but some risk factors have been identified. These include:

  • Smoking: This is a major cause of lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer is directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the number of years smoked.
  • Cigarette use: This can increase the risk of lung cancer, especially in non-smokers who smoke for a long time
  • Exposure to radon gas: This is a natural gas found in some homes and high levels can cause lung cancer.
  • Exposure to other chemicals: Exposure to certain chemicals, such as asbestos and diesel exhaust, can increase the risk of lung cancer.

Prevention of Lung Cancer

There are certain ways you can prevent the lung cancer-

  • Not smoking
  • Avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke
  • Testing homes for radon gas and taking steps to reduce levels if necessary
  • Protecting yourself from exposure to other chemicals known to cause lung cancer
