The respiratory system includes the mouth, nose, throat, lungs, and more. It takes in oxygen either through the nose or mouth and removes the carbon dioxide, this is also called…

Many cases of lung cancer remain asymptomatic until the disease progresses to an advanced non-curable stage. Currently there are very few early detection techniques. Imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, and chest x-rays done on patients in response to other conditions, such as pneumonia or heart disease, can by accident detect lung cancers early in their asymptomatic form.…

Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in a person one or both lungs. These abnormal cells do not grow into healthy tissue and do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells (What Is Lung Cancer, 2016). As lung cancer grow, the abnormal cells can form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lungs, which provides oxygen to the body through the blood, (What Is Lung Cancer, 2016). A study shows that small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer are the two…
