Lung cancer
Lung cancer, or lung carcinoma, is a malignant tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in the lung tissues. It is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, primarily categorized into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Risk factors include smoking, exposure to radon, asbestos, and air pollution. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
