What Is Lung Cancer? Understand Your Disease

Battling cancer begins with being armed with essential information about the disease.

Carcinoma of the lung results from an anomaly in the body's basic unit of life — the cell. The principal function of these sponge-like organs in the process of gas exchange called respiration (breathing). Through the lung, oxygen from incoming air enters the blood, and carbon dioxide (a waste gas) exits through the bloodstream. When a malignant tumor grows and multiplies, it can undermine the lungs’ ability to provide the bloodstream with oxygen, which manifests in shortness of breath, chest pains, and many other life-threatening symptoms.

Today, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. It claims more lives each year than prostate, colon, ovarian, and breast cancers combined.

Lung Cancers We Treat at New Hope Unlimited

The two general types of lung cancer are:

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

This aggressive form of lung cancer occurs almost exclusively in heavy smokers or chain smokers. It often arises in the breathing tubes (bronchi) in the middle of the chest.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

NSCLC accounts for about 85 percent of lung carcinoma cases. It is an umbrella term for several types of lung cancers that behave similarly. Non-small cell lung cancers include adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.

Lung Cancer Symptoms in Men and Women

In most cases, early lung cancer does not show signs or symptoms. As the disease progresses, a patient may experience:

  • Persistent coughing that worsens over time
  • Coughing up blood, even in small amounts
  • Prevalence of rust-colored sputum (spit or phlegm)
  • Shortness of breath or onset of wheezing
  • Hoarseness that may sound breathy, raspy, or strained
  • Chest pain worsened by breathing, coughing, or laughing
  • Weakness or loss of body fat and muscles (cachexia)
  • Recurrent infections with bronchitis or pneumonia
  • Headaches

If lung cancer metastasizes (spreads) to distant organs, warning signs may include:

  • Bone and joint pain
  • Yellowing of the skin (jaundice), showing possible cancer spread to the liver
  • Nervous system changes like headaches and dizziness, weakness, numbness, balance problems, or seizures, which may suggest cancer reaching the brain or spinal cord
  • Lumps in the surface of the body due to cancer spreading to the skin or lymph nodes

If you have one or more of these signs of lung cancer, it is important to see your doctor immediately to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment, if needed.

Lung Cancer Causes, Risks Factors, and Prevention

Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer in both smokers and individuals exposed to secondhand smoke. However, lung cancer also develops in people who do not smoke or never had prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke. In these circumstances, there may be no clear cause of lung cancer.

Apart from smoking and secondhand smoke, some uncontrollable factors may contribute to the risk of lung cancer, such as family history, older age (65 years and over), and long-term exposure to asbestos, radon gas, and other carcinogens.

If you find it difficult to quit smoking, make an appointment with your doctor. He or she can recommend strategies for quitting smoking, such as medications, counseling, and nicotine replacement products. To further reduce your risk, avoid secondhand smoke, test your home for radon, and limit or eliminate exposure to carcinogens at work. It may help to exercise most days of the week and to eat a diet full of fruits and vegetables.

Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Lung cancer screening begins with a physician asking questions about your medical history, which helps rule out any potential risk factors for the disease. Then, the following tests are usually recommended:

  • Physical exam
  • Sputum cytology
  • Chest x-ray
  • Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan
  • Biopsy
