Many people are affected by smoking, second hand smoke, radon gas, asbestos and air pollution. The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke, which causes 80–90% of lung cancers Nonsmokers account for 10–15% of lung cancer cases, and these cases are often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, and exposure to; radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution including second-hand smoke So the people that are affected need to be educated regarding the health issues around the use of tobacco.
There are three main types of lung cancer known as non small cell, small cell, lung carcinoid tumor. Non Small Cell Lung Cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. There are about 85% of lung cancers that are non-small cell lung cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma are all subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer. This one is the most common according to research. Next is small cell lung cancer.
Small Cell Lung Cancer is the next type of cancer. Small cell lung cancer is also
