Lung 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.

Stage IV cancer usually indicates that the cancer has traveled to other parts of the body. See related links for more details.

Smoking. There is a direct correlation with the number of smokers in a given time period and, separated by around 20 years, the number of cases of lung cancer. See the related links.

In the UK, smoking prevalence in women has halved since 1975 yet the incidence of lung cancer has doubled and is still rising. Explain that!

I am not a doctor so I can't give medical advice.

The cancer can change the tissue. It can impair the airways by decreases the size of the airways or it could interfere with gas exchange through the air sacs in the lung. A person breaths by inspiring oxygen and exhaling CO2. Anything that interferes with that gas exchange makes it more difficult to breath. The degree of interference and the placement of the interference affects how difficult it is to breath. The problem starts when get a tumor. A biopsy is advised to determine what type of cancer it is and if it benign or malignant. If malignant the concern comes about isolating it and removing it if possibly. People can have the tumor to a lobe to a section of the right or left lung when if in this case should be removed. Many cancers are progressive and increase in size with time and that further interferes with the ability to breath. Having worked with lung cancer patients and seeing them die is a dreadful and sad experience. Imagine a world of difficulty breathing which is always ever present.

A good way to know how it feels to be short of breath is to remember the times after you have just run a distance and you feel out of breath. Imagine having that feeling all of the time probably to a lesser degree though. Diagnosing the Cancer early helps in preventing the spread and gives the person a better chance of surviving.

If I found out or suspected I had cancer I would see a doctor ASAP which would give me a better chance of surviving the disease and having a more normal life but this depends when the disease is caught, the type of the cancer, and whether is was spread from somewhere else. Remember I am not a doctor so I can't give medical advice.

It is got through smoking and your chest will be infected and breathing becomes dificult.

by smoking usually when you smoke, it leads to congestion and is really bad for your lungs. you could die of smoking.......you prob. already know that......if u have more questions ask me on here ___________________________________________________________ A type of lung cancer in which the cells appear smallish and roundish. Also called oat cell lung cancer. It quickly spreads in the body and is one of the more aggressive forms of cancer. Most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke. The occurrence of lung cancer in nonsmokers, is nominally attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, and pollutions in the air, including secondhand smoke.

A chest x ray may be ordered to check for masses in the lungs. Special imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),

Smoking does not develop lung cancer, it causes cancer to develop in your lungs. The toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke irritate the tissues in the lungs. After a prolonged period of first-hand, or second-hand, smoke inhaled into the sensitive tissues of the lungs, the cells may become cancerous and replicate out of control, resulting in lung cancer.

Yes

it help to damage the lungs through the inhale of the smoke

Smoking is hazardous and the dangers of smoking are serious. A smoker inhales a substance containing many cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds besides four hundred other toxins including nicotine and tar. Nicotine leads to a smoking addiction. Tar clogs the lungs and inhibits the body's capacity to breathe; it causes lung and throat cancer, emphysema, bronchial and lung disorders.

Carcinogens produce mutations within DNA, inside cells. Usually this results in the death of the cell, but sometimes, if multiple mutations occur, the cell will start to reproduce uncontrollably, which results in cancer.
