Do you know someone who has or has died of lung cancer? My father-in-law passed away several years ago from lung cancer. He was a heavy smoker for many years and that probably paid a big part in his cancer. However, nonsmokers also develop lung cancer. So what causes lung cancer? Below are a few facts about lung cancer.
Lung cancer happens when cells in the lungs grow out of control and form tumors.
Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer.
Lung cancer is serious, but there are many treatments available today. Also, research is ongoing into new treatments for this disease.
One of the most important things about lung cancer is that if you even slightly suspect lung cancer in yourself, a loved one or a friend, see a doctor immediately. It might not be cancer, which would be a big relief. It if is cancer, it is important to get an early diagnosis and start treatments.
