If youre a smoker is better to stop

There are over 200 types (see http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=2545) however only 13 account for over 95% of all cases. The most common cancer is skin cancer (from sun exposure) and the most deadly avoidable disease is lung cancer (smoking).

Smoking cigarettes greatly increases your chances of getting cancer over somebody else who is a non-smoker. It is highly recommended that you quit smoking to lessen your risks of lung, throat, and other mouth cancers.

What are the symptoms of brain an lung cancer

The coal tars that make up the major portion of the smoke contain several dozen chemical compounds that have been implicated in cancer development, and a number that have been proven to cause cancer.

Some social effects include, the effect and the impact on the family and the community. Especially when the person dies. Another social impact is the fact that the person often has to go to hospital and breathe through a machine, as breathing causes their lungs to fill with fluid, which would eventually cause them to die, so it effects the person's daily life.

lung cancer attacks by building up its armies for about 3 years. they practice combat maneuvers and mold fierce swords and other weaponry. When it is time to strike. they gather up their forces with weapons in hand and start tearing through your lungs until you eventually cant breathe anymore and you die!

Diaphragm cancer, or any cancer that is classified as stage 3 means it has spread to the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes accelerate the spread of the disease.

What do you mean why do men smoke women smoke to.

Smoking.

Millions in the United States have cancer, and some say that there will be 2.3 million in the country with cancer in 2030. I strongly disagree with this number because if one of two men have cancer and one of three women have cancer then it would be logical to assume that almost half of the population of the United States would have cancer.

No, you dont get cancer because you quit smoking. Period. On the contrary - quittingand staying smoke-less reduces the risk of developing cancer tremendeously. Of course this does not mean that if you dont smoke you cantdevelop cancer.But youhave a much lower chance to develop it.

Leukemia can not be transmitted from one person to another, even by blood transfusion also. So it is a noncommunicable disease.

Carbon monoxide

Several substances have been banned or restricted because of inhalation worries.

Hexavalent chromium - direct link to lung cancer

Asbestos was briefly banned, but is still in production today*

Lead based paint - more neurological problems, but a carcinogen nonetheless

PCBs - many health problems including potent carcinogen

There is also a very long list of banned pesticides, but most of these are responsible for neurological side effects, not cancer.

*Australia has banned new asbestos production and use.

Carbon Monoxide is generally created when combustibles burn. It is not known to cause cancer, although carbon monoxide poisoning can have many symptoms and can cause loss of consciousness and death.

Yes, Monet died of lung cancer on December 5, 1926 at the age of 86.

I don't know but

Please look up the effects of turmeric / curcurmin on cancer

And the TED video "Can we eat to starve cancer ?"

It is said that cancer supposedly cannot live in an alkaline environment

Check out anti-angiogenic food lists

Detoxing is said to also be helpful but it has to be atleast several months and maybe a general change in lifestyle

Look up detoxing and cancer

Lung cancer has a lower growth factor than leukemia

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.

what year did lung cancer begin

smoking is the most important risk factor responsible for the disease. Other environmental factors that may predispose a person to lung cancer include such industrial substances as arsenic, nickel, chromium

It is often quite difficult to differentiate a non-specific symptom like "cough" since many things can cause the symptom. Only by listening to breath sounds, reviewing the patient's current symptoms, patient/family medical history, and with diagnostic testing can the most well-educated physician decide whether a "cough is a cough" or from something much more serious. A previous answer stated a cough from asthma is "from the weather" but that is not true; asthma's coughing can be triggered by a wide variety of lung irritants or even by becoming too hot physically. As well, the previous answer stated that the cough of lung cancer is "from smoking" but millions of lung cancer patients never smoked one cigarette in their entire lives!

Many asthma patients "cough" instead of "wheeze". It can be a sudden, hard coughing fit that occurs fast, or an asthmatic can have small short coughing all day long, for weeks or months. If the person has sinus drainage as well as asthma, coughing may confuse the medical picture-- is the person coughing because the lungs feel tight, or because the sinus drainage is triggering the cough reflex?

In lung cancer, some patients develop a chronic slight cough early in the disease. The only early symptom may be an irritating cough. The cough occurs because a tumor, even a tiny one, irritates normal lung tissue and the body tries to "clear" (cough out) what is obstructing air flow. As cancer progresses, the cough may become productive-- the person may have mucous come up into the mouth or that the person spits out. A productive cough in lung cancer often has blood-tinges-- meaning anything from a pinkish color to bright red blood streaks. But, a person may have an occasional blood-streaked mucous even without cancer because hard coughing can break small blood vessels.

So, without looking at complete medical information and tests (X-Ray, MRI or CAT scan), no one can be certain a cough is from cancer or whether it is from asthma.
