Lung carcinoma, also known as lung cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the lungs. It is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. There are two main types of lung cancer: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Symptoms of lung carcinoma may include:
Risk factors for lung carcinoma include tobacco smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, exposure to radon gas, air pollution, and a family history of lung cancer. Treatment options for lung carcinoma may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches.
Prevention strategies for lung carcinoma include avoiding tobacco use, minimizing exposure to environmental toxins, and getting regular screenings if you are at high risk for lung cancer. If you are experiencing symptoms of lung carcinoma or have a high risk for developing this type of cancer, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
