What Is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lungs, leading to the destruction of healthy lung tissue. These cancerous cells grow into tumors that prevent the lungs from working. There are many types of lung cancer: small cell, large cell, squamous cell and adenocarcinoma. Untreated, the cancer may spread to other areas, causing death.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. Less than half of those diagnosed live more than one year.
