Surprising Signs You Might Have Lung Cancer

Cancer of the lungs is a common type of cancer that is associated with the human lungs. The human lungs are two spongy shaped organs in the chest that takes in oxygen when we inhale and expels carbon dioxide when we exhale. 

Cancer of the lungs has been proven to be the major cause of death in many countries as it affects both men and women. It is more deadly than other diseases like colon, prostate, ovarian, and breasts cancers.

The two general types of lung cancer include:

Small cell lung cancer. This type of cancer is more evident in heavy smokers and is rarer than non-small cell lung cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer. This type of cancer is used to classify several types of cancers that have the same effect on the human lungs. It includes squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.

•        Lung cancer can also result from air pollution caused by wastes from cars, factories, and other sources.

•        The risk of cancer of the lungs is also increased when one has lung diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
