Lung Cancer

When cells inside the lung grow abnormally and form tumors lung cancer results. Lung cancer is the leader in cancer related deaths in the United States and smoking is the cause of majority of these cases. In 2020 the CDC estimates that over 220 thousand cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed with more than half of those expected to be fatal. The early stages of lung cancer may not have any symptoms at all but just like the other cancers early detection and diagnosis are key to achieving the best possible outcome. Lung cancer is treated with a variety of therapeutic options including: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and others.
