INTRODUCTION TO CANCER:-
Cancer in a medical term called malignant neoplasm is a kind of diseases in which some particular or a group of cells show uncontrolled growth and they show division beyond the normal limits.
They cause invasion or intrusion and destruction of adjacent tissues of body , and they sometimes spread to all other places or locations of the body through lymph and blood.
These three prominent properties of cancers differentiate them from "benign tumors".Most cancers make a tumor in the body but some cancers like leukemia do not cause tumors. The branch of medicine or pharmacy concerned with the study of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is called "ONCOLOGY".
LUNG CANCER:-
Lung cancer is a type of disease which is caused due to uncontrolled unhandeled cell growth cell reproduction in tissues of the lungs of human body.
This unusual and unnecessary growth in the lungs may cause metastasis, which causes the movement of many tissue and infiltration beyond the lungs.Many Huge majority of primary cancers are called "carcinomas" of the lung, which came from epithelial cells of skin. Lung cancer is the most common and usuall cause of cancer-related death in men and women and this lungs cancer disease is responsible for about 1.3 million deaths worldwide in a year.
SYMPTOMS:-
The most common symptoms that are seen in lungs cancer are are shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing with blood), and weight loss.
TYPES:-
The main types of lung cancer are known as small cell lung carcinoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. This difference between is important, because the treatment of different cancer varies.Non-small cell lung carcinoma abbreviated as NSCLC is normally treated with surgery but on the other hand small cell lung carcinoma abbreviated as SCLC is betterly treated with chemotherapy and radiation.
REASONS:-
The most common reason of lung cancer is longlife use to tobacco smoke.The presence of lung cancer in persons who do not smoke and they areas as many as 15% of cases is often attributed and due to a combination of genetic factors,genetic defects
radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution, including secondhand smoke causes it
