Lung Cancer
What Is Chemotherapy?
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that begins in the lungs, usually in the cells lining air passages. It’s one of the most prevalent and deadly types of cancer globally, primarily caused by smoking, but it can also occur in non-smokers due to environmental or genetic factors.
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Smoking: Primary cause, responsible for the majority of lung cancer cases.
- Secondhand Smoke: Non-smokers exposed to cigarette smoke are also at risk.
- Exposure to Carcinogens: Radon, asbestos, and other carcinogens in the environment increase the risk.
- Family History and Genetics: Some genetic mutations can predispose individuals to lung cancer
