Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States and worldwide.
Smoking is a major risk factor for lung cancer.
Passive exposure to tobacco smoke (passive smoking) can also cause lung cancer.
Two types of lung cancer that grow and spread differently are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The stage of lung cancer refers to how far the cancer has spread in the body.
Treatment for lung cancer can include a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy, as well as newer experimental approaches.
The general prognosis for lung cancer is poor because doctors often don't detect the disease until it is in its late stages. The five-year survival rate for early lung cancer localized in the lungs is about 54%, while the five-year survival rate for late-stage, inoperable lung cancer is only about 4%.
Quitting smoking is the most important measure to prevent the development of lung cancer.
