Lung Neoplasms
Lung neoplasms are abnormal growths of cells within the lungs that form tumors. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Lung cancer is the most common type of malignant lung neoplasm and has the highest mortality rate of all types of cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for successful treatment. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these. Early detection is key for successful treatment and improved prognosis. Early screenings and lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking) can help reduce the risk of developing lung neoplasms.
