What is lung cancer – a brief introduction

As we know when the cells in our body start growing out of control, it causes cancer. When cancer starts in the lung, it is called Lung Cancer.
Lung cancer may also spread to lymph nodes. If left untreated cancer may spread to other parts of the body. So at the first symptom, a person must consult a doctor. Cancer can be treated if it is detected on time.
Cancer in the lung can grow differently. So there are two main types of lung cancer. These are Small Cell Type and Non-Small Cell Types. The latter is more common. Smoking is the most common reason for lung cancer. However, non-smokers can also develop lung cancer.
Symptoms of lung cancer are long-standing cough, cough getting worse, recurring chest infection, breathlessness, lack of energy, hoarse voice, swelling in neck & face, weight loss, and loss of appetite.
A person having above mentioned symptoms must see his doctor. Treatment will depend upon diagnosis, type of cancer, size & position of cancer in the lung, stage of cancer, and health of the patient
