Cancer Type
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer starts in the lungs, usually in the lining of the airways. Smoking is the leading cause, but non-smokers can also develop it. Persistent cough or breathlessness should never be ignored.
Early detection improves outcomes. If you notice warning signs, see a doctor promptly or visit a World Cancer Care screening camp.
