What Is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. It is often caused by smoking, pollution exposure, or genetic factors. Many cases are diagnosed late due to mild or ignored symptoms, which is why early lung cancer screening is essential.
The primary cause of lung cancer is long-term tobacco smoking, which contributes to nearly 85% of all cases. However, even non-smokers can develop lung cancer due to passive smoking, air pollution, exposure to toxic substances (like asbestos, radon, or heavy metals), or genetic predisposition.
⚠️ Common Symptoms of Lung Cancer:
- Persistent cough that doesn’t go away
- Coughing up blood
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Unexplained weight loss
- Repeated lung infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
- Hoarseness of voice or fatigue
✅ Who Should Get Screened for Lung Cancer?
You should consult a lung cancer doctor if:
- You are a current or former smoker
- You are over 40 years of age with respiratory symptoms
- You have a family history of cancer
- You are exposed to occupational dust or air pollution
- You have unexplained symptoms like cough, chest pain, or fatigue
