School Lung Cancer Lung cancer is “the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs”. These abnormal cells do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells and do not develop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow‚ “the abnormal cells can form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lung‚ which provides oxygen to the body via the blood”.

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. If left untreated‚ this growth can spread beyond the lung in a process called metastasis into nearby tissue and‚ eventually‚ into other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in lung‚ known as primary lung cancers‚ are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells. The main types of lung cancer are small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC)‚ also called oat cell cancer‚ and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The
