Extractions: login register Lung Cancer News What is Lung Cancer? Video Library Retweet Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth, and lung cancer occurs when this uncontrolled cell growth begins in one or both lungs. Rather than developing into healthy, normal lung tissue, these abnormal cells continue dividing and form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. Tumors interfere with the main function of the lung, which is to provide the bloodstream with oxygen to be carried to the entire body. If a tumor stays in one spot and demonstrates limited growth, it is generally considered to be benign. More dangerous, or malignant, tumors form when the cancer cells migrate to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph system. When a tumor successfully spreads to other parts of the body and grows, invading and destroying other healthy tissues, it is said to have metastasized. This process itself is called metastasis, and the result is a more serious condition that is very difficult to treat. Lung cancer is called "primary" if the cancer originates in the lungs and "secondary" if it originates elsewhere in the body but has metastasized to the lungs. These two types are considered different cancers from diagnostic and treatment perspectives.

Extractions: LUNG CANCER This site assists in opposing lung cancer by providing educational information from medical journals on tobacco's overall adverse health effects , and provides an overview legal context as well. (For information on tobacco role in other lung diseases, click here .) At this site, let's start by looking at data on the role of cigarettes in lung cancer. Cigarettes contain toxic chemicals including radioactivity and a record of containing coumarin . The term is "Toxic Tobacco Smoke" (TTS). These toxic substances impair the immune system. This combination makes cigarettes a risk factor in lung cancer. By 1836, pursuant to doctor's centuries of experience analyzing causation data, it was well-established "that thousands and tens of thousands die of diseases of the lungs generally brought on by tobacco smoking. . . . How is it possible to be otherwise? Tobacco is a poison. A man will die of an infusion of tobacco as of a shot through the head ." —Samuel Green, New England Almanack and Farmer's Friend (1836).

Women's lung cancer rates more than doubled between 1974 and 1994. 23,000 more women will die of lung cancer this year than of breast cancer. In general, women have a harder time quitting than men. Since women's magazines are a popular source of health information, the Society for the Advancement of Women's Health Research is calling on them to stop running advertisements for tobacco products. The society scanned the April issues of 21 women's magazines and counted up the cigarette ads in each. The count ranged from no ads in New Woman, Self, Shape or Weight Watchers to nine pages of ads in Vogue.

Extractions: Lung Cancer Lung cancer continues to plague our society and attacks people from all walks of life. Rates of lung cancer are rising all the time, as the legacy of smoking and pollution from decades past comes due. There are over a hundred kinds of cancer; cancer that starts in the lungs is called lung cancer, even if it metastasizes (spreads) to other parts of the body. Do you have lung cancer or do you know someone who does? You are not alone. Lung cancer is unfortunately common, afflicting over a million people a year worldwide and over 200,000 in the United States every year. No other form of cancer causes as many deaths Medical treatment is available for lung cancer patients. Oncologists - doctors who specialize in cancer â€“ have an arsenal of tools they can employ to fight the cancer. Common treatments include surgery and chemotherapy. As the medical community gets more experience in treatment and as research scientists delve deeper into the physiology, pathology, and biochemistry of lung cancer, breakthroughs could result in new and more effective treatment options.

Also see: Overview Breast Cancer Cervical Cancer Prostate Cancer ... Skin Cancer Cancer is a group of many related diseases that begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. The body is made up of many types of cells, and normally, cells grow and divide to produce more cells only when the body needs them. Sometimes, however, cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed. These extra cells form a mass of tissue, called a growth or tumor. There are two types or tumor, benign and malignant. Benign tumors are not cancer. They can usually be removed and, in most cases, they do not come back. Cells from benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body and are not a threat to life.

Blackwell, and Jeffrey Crawford In the United States, the leading cause of cancer death in men is lung cancer , with lung cancer continuing to surpass breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death in women. In men, the overall incidence of lung cancer currently approximates 80 per 100,000 men; this escalates to nearly 600 per 100,000 for men aged 60 to 79 years. In women, the overall incidence of lung cancer is approximately 50 per 100,000 women; lung cancer incidence rates are approximately 400 per 100,000 women aged 60 to 79. The number of older persons who will develop lung cancer is expected to increase as the smoking exposure time effects on birth cohorts become more apparent ( Figure 35.1 There is a dose-response relationship for smoking and lung cancer , and the risk for lung cancer increases with smoking duration, number of cigarettes smoked, age at onset of smoking, use of unfiltered cigarettes, tar and nicotine content, and degree of inhalation. The pivotal trial by Doll and Hill in 1956 showed that smoking cessation reduces the risk of

A study by Henschke, et al.* found that n on-calcified pulmonary nodules were detected in 23% participants by low dose CT at baseline, compared with 7% by chest radiography. Malignant disease was detected in 2-7% by CT and of the 27 CT-detected cancers, 26 were resectable. It was concluded that low-dose CT can greatly improve the likelihood of detection of small (early) lung cancers, and thus potentially more curable stage. Who should consider lung cancer screening?
