Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a result of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This kind of growth may eventually lead to metastasis, a condition where other tissues are invaded and infiltration spreads beyond lungs.  

Lung cancer is found to be the commonest reason behind cancer related deaths in men and women. Shortness of breath, cough (including coughing up blood), and weight loss are some of the most common symptoms of lung cancer. Common causes include smoking, asbestos, radon gas, viruses and particulate matter.
