Non-small cell lung carcinoma

In the respiratory system the lungs are the primary organs. The diaphragm is a muscle that helps the lungs take in oxygen and take out carbon dioxide as we breathe. When air enters our body it goes down the trachea which then branch off into tubes that carry the air inside the lungs. While the air is in the lungs it inflates air sacs called alveoli. When the oxygen passes the walls of the alveoli it goes into the blood vessels which carries the oxygen through out the body to use as needed.…

Lung cancer is described as a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. In the United States, lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer. In 2016, there has been an estimation of 224,390 new cases of lung cancer, and the estimated number of deaths from the disease is 158,080 deaths. The number of deaths among women with the disease is increasing. Lung cancer is much more common among older people. According to statistics at m.cancer.org, “About 2 out of 3 people…

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that is common in many people. There are more than 20 different kinds, but there are two main types: non-small cell lung cancer, which is more common, and small-cell lung cancer. The kinds of non-small cell lung cancers are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large-cell carcinoma, and bronchial carcinoids. Small-cell lung cancer is more aggressive than non-small lung cancer because it will spread quickly before the symptoms can be noticed. The people who are…

Background Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of all lung cancers. NSCLC has three subtypes: adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma is found in the central part of the lungs and is often linked to smoking. Adenocarcinoma arises from the bronchial mucosal glands and is the most common of the three subtypes. Large…

determines the effects of nicotine on cancer cell proliferation. It is well-known that nicotine is bad for the body. But this experiment determines how exactly nicotine affects established lung cancer cells. This experiment will be done in vitro at [location will be inserted here] under the supervision of [person]. The lungs are two organs found in the under the rib cage. The right lung is divided into three lobes; the left lung has two lobes. The left lung is smaller than the right because the…

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer amongst both men and women in the United States. It surpassed breast cancer as the leading cancer killer of women in 1987. Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in the human body. Lungs are a pair of organs that are stored inside the rib cage. Inside the lung is where the oxygen you inhale is stored. Lung cancer is a form of cancer that develops in a person’s lungs, the organs necessary for breathing ( Sheen, p.11 ). It…

PASSIVE SMOKING AND LUNG CANCER Lung cancer is a type of cancer that develops from epithelial cells. It begins with an uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells in the tissue that line the inner or outer surface of the lung tissues. The abnormal cells start to divide rapidly to form a lump which is known as a tumor. As tumors become more numerous and larger, they weaken the ability of the lungs to provide oxygen to the bloodstreams. A tumor can either be benign or malignant, benign tumor remains…

LUNG CANCER AND ITS CAUSES INTRODUCTION Lungs are respiratory organs that are located within the chest, one is the left side and the other one the right side. They help in removing the carbon dioxide and bring in oxygen into the blood. Lung cancer is also known as bronchogenic carcinomas. Lung cancer has been rated as the number one killer worldwide. It is a deadliest disease because it spreads before being detected. It affects all genders. It is essential to understand some of the things that…

This is the number of people that die from lung cancer annually. Although it surmounts all other cancers with its mortality rates, lung cancer is often given the “back burner” when it comes to ribbons and walks. Perhaps people do not realize that it is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. Lung Cancer consists of many different types caused by different reasons but with several treatment options. When someone hears the words lung cancer their response probably is not…

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.…
