If the cancer spreads within and beyond the chest, other symptoms may occur.
Because these symptoms are so general, many people don't suspect lung cancer. And by the time they see a doctor, often the cancer has already started to spread.

About 80% to 85% of lung cancers are NSCLC. The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. These subtypes, which start from different types of lung cells are grouped together as NSCLC because their treatment and prognoses (outlook) are often similar.
this type of lung cancer occurs mainly in current or former smokers, but it is also the most common type of lung cancer seen in non-smokers Anoosha Iqbal
Adenocarcinoma: Adenocarcinomas start in the cells that would normally secrete substances such as mucus.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has doubled the cure rate in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer, and has cured patients with some forms of lung cancer who would not have been cured by surgery alone.
Respiratory failure is the immediate cause of mortality in about 38% of lung cancer deaths. 1 But different factors lead to a lack of oxygen including tumor burden, pneumonia, or hemorrhage. Often, more than one condition contributes to death.
The lack of other treatment options greatly contributes to lung cancer's shocking death toll. Thankfully, many researchers around the world are working tirelessly to create early detection tools and better treatment options. New studies have shown that low-dose CT screening can aid in early detection of lung cancer
For patients who have small, early-stage lung cancer, the cure rate can be as high as 80% to 90%. Cure rates drop dramatically as the tumor becomes more advanced and involves lymph nodes or other parts of the body.

Lung cancer happens when cells in the lung change (mutate). They grow uncontrollably and cluster together to form a tumor.

About 80% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking, and many others are caused by exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoking is clearly the strongest risk factor for lung cancer, but it often interacts with other factors.

A person can also be unsymptomatic. In up to 25% of people who get lung cancer, the cancer is first discovered on a routine chest X-ray or CT scan on a solitary small mass.
lung cancer can cause complications such as shortness of breath if cancer grows to block the major airways. lung cancer can also cause fluid to accumulate around the lungs making it harder for the affected lungs to expand fully when you inhale.
If a person has lung cancer the symptoms would be related to the cancer like cough, wheezing, chest pain coughing up blood etc

Naqiyah: Lung cancer occurs when cells in the lung mutate or change. Various factors can cause this mutation to happen. Most often, this change in lung cells happens when people breathe in dangerous, toxic substances.
Naqiyah: Lung cancers typically start in the cells lining the bronchi and parts of the lung such as the bronchioles or alveoli

81% of those living with lung cancer are over the age 60. The disease ails the elderly the most severely.
Cancer of the lungs takes more lives every year than breast, colon, and prostate cancer combined.
Nearly 400,000 people in the US are living with lung cancer.
