Uncontrolled growth of cells and tissues of the lung cause lung cancer. This growth of tissue and cells may result to metastasis that invades the adjacent tissues and infiltrate beyond the lungs. Primarily lung cancers are carcinomas of the lung. There are two main types of lung cancer and they include the non-small cell lung carcinoma and the small cell lung carcinoma. Lung cancers can be caused by smoking, viruses, asbestos and radon gas.
Symptoms and sign of lung cancer in the body include dysphonia, chest or abdomen pains, hemoptysis, dyspnea and chronic coughing. Lung cancer can be treated through radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy or interventional therapy.
