Lung cancer facts● 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 notdevelop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow, the abnormal cells can form tumorsand interfere with the functioning of the lung, which provides oxygen to the body viathe blood.● Lung cancer is the second most common cancer (not counting skin cancer) in bothmen and women.● According to the American Cancer Society, there will be an estimated 236,740 newcases of lung cancer in the United States for 2022.● Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, among bothmen and women. Lung cancer claims more lives each year than do colon, prostate,ovarian and breast cancers combined.● Overall, the chance that a man will develop lung cancer in his lifetime is about 1 in15; for a woman, the risk is about 1 in 1.7● People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer, and about 80% of lungcancer deaths are thought to result from smoking, though lung cancer can also occurin people who have never smoked. The risk of lung cancer increases with the lengthof time and number of cigarettes you've smoked.● Lung cancer is divided into primary or secondary lung cancer.-Primary lung cancer starts in the lungs. The cancer cells are abnormal lung cells.-Secondary lung cancer is when people who have cancer travel from another part oftheir body or metastasize to their lungs. This is called secondary lung cancer because thelungs are a secondary site compared to the original primary location of the cancer.Dr. David Jackman● Dr. Jackman is a Senior Physician in the Thoracic Oncology Program at Dana-Farber,where he cares for patients with lung cancer, mesothelioma, and thymoma.
