Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAĂ‘OL Lung cancer Lung cancer is cancer that begins in the lungs, the two organs found in the chest that help you breathe. The lungs are made up of areas called lobes. The right lung has three lobes; the left lung has two, so there's room for the heart. When you breathe, air goes through your nose, down your windpipe (trachea), and into the lungs where it spreads through tubes called bronchi. Most lung cancer begins in the cells that line these tubes. There are two main types of lung cancer: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer makes up about 20% of all lung cancer cases. If the lung cancer is made up of both types, it is called mixed small cell/large cell cancer. If the cancer started somewhere else in the body and spread to the lungs, it is called metastatic cancer to the lung Causes Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined.

The cells can spread to other parts of the body. When the disease spreads, it is still called lung cancer. November is Lung Cancer Awareness month.

Support Lung Cancer Types Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of all lung cancers. Non-small cell lung cancers include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. They generally spread very slowly to other organs in the body, and can be hard to detect in the early stages. Small cell lung cancer is responsible for about 20% of all lung cancers. Also known as “oat cell” cancer, it spreads very quickly through the lungs to other parts of the body.

51. Causes Of Lung Cancer | What Causes Lung Cancer Many pollutants increase the risk of lung cancer, in addition to tobacco smoke. Here are descriptions of some. http://www.lung-cancer.com/causes.html

Home Causes Types of Lung Cancer Symptoms ... Help Lung Cancer Causes Tobacco Radon Asbestos Agent Orange ... Beryllium Causes of Lung Cancer The etiology, or the root cause of lung cancer, is not always evident. Although tobacco smoking is the primary etiological factor, scientists agree that many lung cancers have no single cause, but are instead the result of a combination of several causes that may include exposure to radon, asbestos, environmental tobacco smoke, and exposures to other hazardous materials. Don't just assume that your lung cancer was caused by smoking alone. Lung cancer is also a significant health problem among patients who have never smoked (referred to as "never smokers"). You could have been exposed to carcinogens decades ago, and many people with lung cancer cannot easily remember these exposures. Call us at 1-800-998-9729 and we may be able to help you identify where you came into contact with hazardous materials that could have increased your risk for lung cancer.

The page citations are to the hearing transcript of the OSHA hearing on the proposed indoor air rule that started in Sept 1994 Prepared by Stanton Glantz Page 4359 MR. MOTLEY: For yourself, have you come to the conclusion based on the evidence that tobacco smoking 20 or 30 years will cause an increased occurrence of lung cancer among those who so smoke? MR. HOLAN: Well, in my own family, I can't say because of past medical histories on both sides of my family, there's been non-smokers who have died of cancer, who have died of diabetes and other health-related diseases like that. So I have to throw in that hereditary aspect. MR. MOTLEY: Is it fair to say that you, yourself, have not concluded to 100 percent of certainty that tobacco smoking by an individual for 20 or 30 years causes lung cancer, is that correct? MR. HOLAN: That's correct.

About Lung Cancer Treatment Clinical Trials Support ... Contact Us Tobacco Issues: Background information Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in every state. As a society, we can no longer ignore the 171,000 Americans who will be diagnosed with lung cancer every year and the 46 million former smokers at risk for the disease. A substantial amount of the money coming to the states from the tobacco settlement should be used not only for smoking prevention and cessation programs but also to meet the very real needs of people living with or at risk for lung cancer. If states focus only on prevention and cessation to alleviate smoking-related illness, they will fail to save thousands of lives and to reduce the enormous suffering caused by lung cancer. Programs for early detection, education about lung cancer and treatment options, and access to psycho social support must also receive funding. In the United States, most people newly diagnosed with lung cancer are former smokers and people who never smoked. Former smokers carry a lifelong increased risk for lung cancer. For these people, early diagnosis is critical for survival. However, because there is no accepted lung cancer screening policy, 85% of people are diagnosed in late-stage disease. In addition, a prevailing attitude of fear and blame surrounds lung cancer and discourages people at risk from seeking medical attention. Detecting lung cancer in its earliest stages allows more treatment options, offers the best chance for cure, and is cost-effective, compared with treating late-stage disease. Current research on several screening methods holds great promise for early detection. Once diagnosed, people deserve immediate referral to oncology professionals and informational materials to guide their healthcare decisions, regardless of stage of disease or age. They should have access to personal support services and programs to enhance their quality of life. The Alliance for Lung Cancer calls for a broad educational campaign about lung cancer in every state, with the goal of saving lives now and for decades to come. Tobacco settlement funds should support these efforts.
