Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is an aggressive form of cancer that starts in the lungs and can spread to other areas of the body, such as the bones, brain and liver. It is one of the most common and deadliest types of cancer, accounting for more than one-quarter of all cancer-related deaths worldwide. There are various types of lung cancer, most of which are divided into two major categories: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and/or targeted therapy, although the best option for each individual depends on the specific type of cancer and its stage. Early detection is the best way to improve survival outcomes for people with lung cancer, so it is important for people at risk to talk to their doctor about screening options.
