Understanding Lung Cancer
Knowledge is the first step toward effective treatment. Learn about lung cancer, its symptoms, and risk factors.
What is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer is a condition where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in one or both lungs. It is one of the most common cancers worldwide, but early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Early Symptoms to Watch
Persistent cough, unexplained weight loss, shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood are common early signs. If you experience any of these, consult a specialist promptly.
Risk Factors
Smoking is the leading risk factor, but non-smokers can also develop lung cancer. Other factors include exposure to secondhand smoke, radon gas, asbestos, air pollution, and family history.
