Description
Lung cancer research and treatment, conceptual image. The book cover shows a set of human lungs. Most primary lung cancers are carcinomas. Most cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking. Other causes include asbestos, second-hand smoke (passive smoking) and air pollution. Cancer cells divide in an uncontrolled fashion and migrate to invade other tissues. Treatment is with surgery if the cancer is still localised, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy if it has spread. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in men, and the second most common in women.
