Why do people lose their hair if they have cancer?
One nice explanation from Yahoo answers. Cancer is a disease in which certain cells in the body mutate and begin to grow uncontrollably. Most normal cells have a 'trigger' or 'off switch' to tell them to stop growing at a certain point . . cancer cells lose that ability. Some types of chemotherapy were created to target a cancer cells uncontrolled 'growth' . . the idea is to kill the cancer cells by using a medication that will stop it from 'growing'. The medication will kill all cells in the human body that 'grow' . . and hair cells grow . . the medication cannot tell the difference between a cancer cell and a hair cell . . so it kills them both. Thus a cancer patient will lose their hair. Once the chemotherapy is stopped or treatment is done than the hair will grow back.

What kind of doctor treats lung cancer?
Treating the cancer of any organ is usually a team approach with doctors of different specialties coming together since cancers often require multiple modes of treatment simultaneously (each delivered by doctors trained in providing that specific form of treatment). Treatment of lung cancer could include a pulmonologist (internist specializing in lung disease), oncologist (internist specializing in cancer), cardiothoracic surgeon (surgeon specializing in surgery on the structures within the chest cavity), radiologist (doctor trained in the interpretation of imaging studies such as CTs and MRIs for the diagnosis and treatment of disease) and radiation oncologist (doctor trained in using radiation to treat disease, mostly cancer). How much of a role, if any, each of these doctors will play will depend on the nature of the cancer and which treatment modalities are being utilized.
