Lung cancer is a formidable adversary, beginning its assault in the cells of the lungs. It stands as one of the most prevalent cancers globally and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. This disease can be divided into two primary types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), each with its unique characteristics and challenges
Symptoms of Lung Cancer
Recognizing the early signs of lung cancer can make a world of difference in treatment success. Common symptoms include:
● Persistent cough that doesn’t go away
● Chestpain that worsens with deep breathing or coughing
● Shortness of breath and wheezing
● Hoarseness or changes in voice
● Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
● Coughing up blood, even a small amount
● Fatigue and feeling weak
If you or a loved one experiences any of these symptoms, seeking medical advice promptly is crucial. Early detection can significantly enhance treatment outcomes
Types of Lung Cancer
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
NSCLC is the more common form, accounting for about 85% of all lung cancer cases. It includes subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. NSCLC generally grows and spreads more slowly compared to its counterpart, making early detection and treatment essential
Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
SCLC is less common but notoriously aggressive, spreading rapidly to other parts of the body. This type often responds well to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but its fast-moving nature makes early intervention critical.
