Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a serious and often life-threatening condition that originates in the lungs, typically in the cells lining the airways. While smoking is the leading cause, non-smokers can also develop lung cancer due to factors such as exposure to radon, secondhand smoke, and air pollution. There are two primary types of lung cancer: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is more common, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which tends to grow and spread more rapidly.

Symptoms include a persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss, and coughing up blood. Diagnosis usually involves imaging tests like CT scans and chest X-rays, biopsies, and sometimes bronchoscopy. Treatment options depend on the cancer's type, stage, and location and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
