Lung cancer – causes, symptoms, treatment, prevention

Lung cancer is a malignant lung disease primarily caused by cigarette smoking. It often has no obvious symptoms until the disease is quite advanced, and has a low rate of survival. Treatment for lung cancer mainly involves surgery and chemotherapy, while radiation therapy and targeted drug therapies may also be used. 
Lung cancer results from abnormal growth of cells in the lining of the lungs, leading to the growth of a malignant tumour.
