Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division in the lungs, leading to tumor growth and diminished breathing capacity. Cigarette smoking is the primary risk factor, while passive exposure to tobacco smoke can also cause lung cancer in non-smokers. The two main types are small-cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages, impacting prognosis. Treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and experimental approaches. The prognosis varies, with a 54% five-year survival for early-stage patients and 4% for advanced cases. Smoking cessation is crucial for prevention.
