Lung cancer is often considered the most fatal type of cancer. It has a high mortality rate, primarily because it is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage when treatment options are limited. Smoking is a leading cause of lung cancer, and the risk increases significantly for smokers. However, non-smokers can also develop lung cancer due to other factors such as exposure to secondhand smoke, radon gas, asbestos, and other environmental carcinogens.
It's important to note that the fatality of cancer can vary depending on factors like the type of cancer, stage at diagnosis, available treatments, and individual patient characteristics. Many other types of cancer can also be highly fatal if not detected and treated early. Regular cancer screenings and early intervention can greatly improve outcomes for various cancer types.
