Malignant lung tumors can grow quickly and spread to other organs of the body. Lung cancer has the highest chance of being successfully treated when a patient is diagnosed in the early stages.

The more cigarettes and the longer a person smokes increase the risk of developing lung cancer. Smoking cigars and pipes can also contribute to the development of lung cancer, although the risk is not as high as with cigarettes. The chemicals in tobacco lead to the mutation of cells within the lungs. As the cells reproduce, a person develops lung cancer. Non-smoking individuals who live around second-hand smoke are also at risk of developing lung cancer.Symptoms of Lung CancerApproximately one-fourth of individuals with lung cancer do not experience any symptoms. In many cases, lung cancer is discovered during a routine X-ray of the chest. A patients that does not experience symptoms usually has a small, solitary lung tumor. As lung cancer grows, tumors can start to invade the lungs and cause symptoms. Lung cancer tumors may cause shortness of breath, chest pain, vocal cord paralysis, and coughing up blood. In some patients, lung cancer can spread to the bone and cause extreme pain. Cancer can also spread to the brain and affect an individual's vision and cause headaches and seizures.Staging and TreatmentsStaging refers to how much lung cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body. The stage of an individual's lung cancer determines how the doctor will treat the cancer. Lung cancer stages range from stage I to stage IV. Stage I lung cancer, which means the tumor is only located in the lung, may be treated with surgery to remove the tumor. Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells and prevent them from dividing, and to shrink tumors so that surgery can be performed. Individuals with advanced lung cancer typically undergo chemotherapy, which is used to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. The unfortunate part of chemotherapy is that it also kills normal cells. Chemotherapy can compromise a person's immune system.
