I decided to do my cancer research paper on Lung cancer because more than 37.8 million people smoke cigarettes in the US and you have a 80-90% chance of getting lung cancer. Lung cancer starts in the lung , Their abnormal cells cluster together to form a tumor. Cancer cell grows without order or control, destroying healthy lung tissues around them. These tumors are called malignant tumors. My dad used to smoke every day for a year, he thought that nothing would happen to him. He got addicted…

Lung Cancer is a common disease which affects millions of people each year. Lung cancer begins when cells in the lung change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor, a lesion, or a nodule (Cancer.Net 1). Lung Cancer is the leading cause of death among cancers, and the second most diagnosed cancer in both men and women. Cigarette smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Lung Cancer also can be caused by types of tobacco, pipes, or cigars and being exposed to substances such…

to the hospital and is told they have lung cancer. One might think “whatever, he’s probably a smoker”, but this is not always the case. Lung cancer takes more lives than any other cancer, but because it is so closely associated with the choice of smoking cigarettes many people lose sympathy for this disease’s victims (Nature.com). While lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world, the disease was once rare, but now there are treatments available. Lung cancer ensues when cells in the body…

Lung cancer refers to the state where there is uncontrolled cells growth in the patient’s one or both lungs (“What is Lung Cancer,” medicalnewstoday.com). In most cases, the cells that are affected are those that line the air passage in the lungs. The cells are considered to be abnormal and their growth develops into unhealthy lung tissue that affects the organ’s functionality. Their rapid division and growth eventually forms tumours. As the tumors continue to grow and become dominant in the…

When you hear lung cancer, an individual with a cigarette between their fingers may come to mind. Although that may be the case, I want to bring to your attention the misconceptions and evidence about lung cancer. In recent and nonrecent medical studies there have been approximately 17,000 cases of non-smokers being diagnosed with lung cancer annually. That’s more than 10% of the total annual amount of patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Melissa Conrad Stoppler, MD posted an article…

Chronic Disease: Lung Cancer Lung Cancer is a type of cancer that “forms in the tissues of the lungs.” While predominantly being found in the cells that line the air passages of the lungs, it remains the most common cause of cancer deaths for men and women all throughout the world! This cancer is mainly found in the elderly population, making up seventy percent of people that are diagnosed with Lung Cancer being over the age of sixty-five. Less than three percent of the diagnosed Lung Cancers…

The third cancer, lung cancer, it very deadly. It affects a good portion of the world’s population. Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. This growth may start in one lung and continue to the other. The abnormal cells grow rapidly and develop into tumors. As these tumors continue to grow, they restrict the ability of the lungs to function. The lungs are not able to provide the bloodstream with oxygen. While benign tumors do not spread throughout the body, malignant tumors do.…

management and treatment options for lung cancer depend on the type and staging of the actual cancer. Typically, a thoracic surgeon is consulted to evaluate a patient with this form of diagnosis. Different forms of surgical interventions are available depending on the clinical presentation of the tumor. If surgery is warranted, the goal is to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue if affected by cancer. Surgical options available to aid in eradicating lung cancer include a lobectomy, wedge…

Lung cancer, also most popularly known as an early death sentence for the “crime” of smoking. However what most people don’t know is how it occurs and how it progresses throughout one’s life. Lung cancer is the number one killer in cancers like when in 1987 it surpassed breast cancer. So far an estimate of 158,040 people have gone seven feet under for it this year. In the past 15 years the number of deaths caused by it have increased by 3.5%. The best way to avoid being a victim is to not smoke,…
