	lung cancer
		Lung cancer is the malignant transformation and expansion of lung tissue, and is the most lethal of all cancers worldwide, responsible for up to 3 million deaths annually.
		Although lung cancer was previously an illness that predominantly affected males, the incidence in women has been increasing in the last few decades, which has been attributed to the rising ratio of female to male smokers.
		Lung cancer is the second most commonly occurring form of cancer in most western countries, and it is the leading cancer-related cause of death for men and women.

	Lung cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lung cancer is a cancer of the lungs characterized by the presence of malignant tumours.
		Lung cancer is the second most commonly occurring form of cancer in most western countries, and it is the leading cancer-related cause of death for men and women.
		Not all cases of lung cancer are due to smoking, but the role of passive smoking is increasingly being recognised as a risk factor for lung cancer, leading to policy interventions to decrease undesired exposure of non-smokers to others' tobacco smoke.

	Lung Cancer - oncologychannel
		Lung cancer is sometimes called "bronchogenic cancer," or it may be described by its particular histologic type, that is the type of tissue that is diseased.
		If cancerous cells break away from the original tumor, travel, and grow within other body parts- such as the brain, bone, liver, adrenal glands, the opposite lung, or lymph nodes of the chest or collarbone (clavicle) regions - the process is known as metastasis.
		Lung cancer is the leading category of cancer death in men, and - since the late 1980s - it has surpassed breast cancer as the leading category of cancer death in women.

		Lung cancer is the most frequently lethal cancer in the United States.
		Factors that may protect people from lung cancer are not smoking, avoiding second hand smoke, a diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruit, and limiting exposure to potential carcinogens in the environment such as radon.
		The cancer is then staged depending on the extent of its spread within the chest cavity and to other parts of the body.

	Lung Cancer
		Non-small cell lung cancer often has a better prognosis, but this again depends upon the extent of spread of the disease at the time it is initially diagnosed.
		If non-small cell lung cancer appears to be confined to one lobe of one lung, and that lobe is surgically removed, the 5-year survival rate may be up to 80%.
		Small cell lung cancer metastasizes early to lymph nodes and blood vessels, and, therefore, is usually not amendable to surgical resection for attempted cure.

	Lung cancer
		Lung cancer that begins in the lungs (primary lung cancer) is uncommon in nonsmokers, but cancer of the breast, colon, prostate, testicle, kidney, thyroid, bone or other organs may spread to the lungs.
		Non-small cell lung cancer is staged according to the size of the tumor, the level of lymph node involvement and the extent to which the cancer has spread.
		Cancer is confined to one lung and to its neighboring lymph nodes.

		Squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer that begins in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells found in the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts as well as in the surface of the skin and the lining of the hollow organs of the body.
		When lung cancer is found early, it is often as a result of a chest X-ray, CT scan or other test that was being done for another reason.
		If lung cancer is suspected, sputum cytology (the microscopic examination of cells obtained from a deep-cough sample of mucus in the lungs) is a simple test that may be useful in detecting lung cancer.

		Cancer of the lung, like all cancers, results from an abnormality in the body's basic unit of life, the cell.
		Since lung cancer tends to spread, or metastasize, very early in its course, it is a very life-threatening cancer and one of the most difficult cancers to treat.
		Lung cancers can arise in any part of the lung, and 90%-95% of cancers of the lung are thought to arise from the epithelial, or lining cells of the larger and smaller airways (bronchi and bronchioles); for this reason, lung cancers are sometimes called bronchogenic carcinomas or bronchogenic cancers.
