Lungs' cancer

Smoking is the main cause of lung cancer. Inhaling tobacco smoke introduces carcinogens into the lungs, which cause cell mutations. Men get lung cancer 7-10 times more often than women.

Main symptoms:

  1. Persistent cough, especially with bloody sputum
  2. Dyspnea
  3. Chest pain
  4. Frequent pneumonia and bronchitis

To make a diagnosis:

  1. X-ray of the chest organs
  2. Bronchoscopy
  3. Tumor biopsy

Treatment includes:

  1. Surgical removal of the tumor
  2. Radiation therapy
  3. Chemotherapy

Early diagnosis increases the chances of recovery. Therefore, it is important to undergo regular medical examinations and consult a doctor if suspicious symptoms appear. Quitting smoking significantly reduces the risk of developing this dangerous disease.
