Lung cancer affects the rate of respiration, because if the cancer grows in the airway, it may obstruct airflow, causing breathing difficulties. Emphysema affects the rate of respiration because there is less oxygen in the blood and it causes shortness of breath.

Tobacco smoking is strongly associated with lung cancer.

The actual cost of lung cancer removal surgery is well over $100,000; however, the out of pocket costs you may face can vary widely depending upon your insurance coverage.

It depends on how much you have smoked and for how long, 40 ciggs a day is very different from 5 a day. A very rough average for people in their 50's who have smoked since they where teenagers is 5-7% chance to develop lung cancer before they reach 65.

Here's a table with approximations: 1 pack a day for 30 years > less than 1%

1 pack a day for 35 years > about 3%

1.5 packs a day for 40 years > about 4%

2 packs a day for 45 years > about 8%

2 packs a day for 50 years > about 15%

Please note that your individual risk varies greatly depending on factors such as personal physice and general living conditions. However it's not at all certain that you will develop lung cancer because you smoke.

No. The leading cause of death for men is heart attack/disease.

No,they don 't have lungs they have gills

Goggle it. But I have seen others say zazzle.com has the most items for lung cancer.

Lung cancer occurs when something stimulates cells in the lung or lungs to begin to multiply uncontrollably. The most common cause of lung cancer is smoking, although there are other causes, usually involving inhalation of foreign particles.
What causes lung cancer? The biggest cause of lung cancer is smoking, approximately 36,000 people in the U.K. die from lung cancer every year, 90% of those lung cancer deaths are from smoking. If you are a non-smoker there is a risk that you can get lung cancer from passive smoking, though the risk is not as high than if you smoke yourself. Passive smoking could be responsible for several hundred, lung cancer cases every year. Another possible cause of lung cancer is exposure to certain chemicals and substances such as asbestos, radon gas and nickel, but this is very rare. Air pollution has also been suspected as a cause of lung cancer, but this has not been proved.

It is true. Often smoking will cause it or even smoke from steel mills.

Lung cancer isn't contagious like flu, but if you're around him whe he smokes you can get cancer by breathing in the secondary smoke.

The 'studies' that linked lung cancer to exposure to secondhand smoke related to 'spousal exposure', i.e. 24x7 exposure in the home over several DECADES. Of these studies, over 80% produced inconclusive results and a couple even suggested a beneficial effect. Only by cherry picking the studies that gave the 'right result' and performing some 'creative' statistics on them could they 'prove' an epidemiologically insignificant increase in risk. In other words, had the 'studies' been performed on anything other than smoking, they would have been binned!

IF there is a risk of lung cancer from secondhand smoke, it is grossly over-exaggerated.

Cancer is basically cancer cells, the cells eat up all the fat coming from the food and doesn't let any of the power from the fat escape to power the other organs and cells that work on fat power.

Cancer is a sneaky disease. Mammograms do provide early detection in some cases, and I hope that yours is still in a very treatable stage. Be glad that they have found it now, and can begin treatment. My husband got sick and they suspected cancer. They looked for 18 months, and when they did find it he had only 6 weeks to live. So, if they have found yours there is a good chance you can beat this. Good luck.

It is possible to have early-stage lung cancer without a tumour showing up on a CT scan. In such cases, the only way of telling is a blood test, which would show a higher than normal level of white blood cells (lymphocytes).

However, this would only be at a VERY early stage- with lung cancer, tumours appear fairly early, so the condition would be in it's infancy and therefore more amenable to chemotherapy than later on. If you suspect you have early-stage lung cancer, go and see your doctor and ask for a referral to a specialist.

lung cancer is in the lungs, prostate cancer is in the prostate.

The cancer has spread from the lungs. It has metastasized.

If I were caring for a elderly person with lung cancer, i wouldn't have them smoke it. I would have them eat it...in food!
