Lung cancer

By Callum van den berg

What is Lung Cancer?

• Lung cancer is when a tumour develops in your lung but it doesn’t spread. If the tumour is really big it will cause that lung to stop working because it blocks the flow of air to that lung. When that happens you will want to get to a hospital very quickly. If you don't get to a hospital you will probably die.

How Common Is Lung Cancer.

• Lung cancer is a very common cancer in the world. Every 1 in 14 men in America will be diagnosed with lung cancer every day. 70% of people over 65 years of age will be diagnosed with lung cancer every year. The most common cause of lung cancer is tobacco. So smocking.

What Are The Different Types Of Lung Cancer.

• There are about 2,000 different types of lung cancer. Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world. The main type of lung cancer is Small cell carcinoma. When you have this type of cancer it destroys you lungs within a week. Another type of lung cancer is Aden carcinoma.

How is Lung Cancer Treated!

• Lung cancer is treated by first removing the cancer and them checking for more cancer. Once all the cancer is gone the patient would be prescribed with medication and would be put in a rehabilitation centre. To help them to get through the tough times they had.
