Lung cancer begins due to the abnormal growth of abnormal cells that begin to happen in one or both the lugs. The cells that are found in the air passages are responsible for the disease. \u00a0The abnormal cells that grow do no help to the lungs. They multiply fast and result into tumors. As the time passes by, the tumors tend to grow in size; they vitiate the lung\u2019s ability to provide oxygen into the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n Lung cancer is responsible for most cancer- caused deaths in both the genders throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n In many cases, lung cancer is wrongly diagnosed as tuberculosis especially for young patients. A large number of cases of lung cancer are treated as tuberculosis for different durations until the right diagnosis happens.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A risk factor is anything that causes a person from getting infirmity such as cancer.

With surgery, it is easy to get rid of the disease completely. In this process, at first the tumor is removed and nearby margin tissues. Later further tests are done to check the presence of margin tissue for the presence of cancer cells. If there are no cells found it is declared as negative margins. There are two types of surgeries that are performed for lung cancer patients that are Curative and Palliative. The former one is done for the patients who are at an early stage of lung cancer by removing the tissue. Whereas, the later one does not remove the tissue but makes a way out for air to make the patient feel more relaxed. The surgery process may result in side effects like infections and pain. But with proper care, the same can be cured.<\/span><\/p>\n Radiation<\/b> \u2013 Under this treatment process high energy rays are used to cut the cells or to shrink them resulting them to do suicide. This process is used to kill the cells that are still left after surgery. Earlier using this treatment meant destroying the normal and healthy tissues but with modernization, the damage risk has been reduced and now the radiation processes are used in regular intervals with moderation. Still, there are certain side effects that include nausea, irritation, dry skin, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n Chemotherapy<\/b> \u2013 This process of treatment involves strong chemicals that are used to kill cancer cells or in order to make them suicide. Here the cells are divided and chemicals utilized accordingly. In this process, normal cells can be further recovered. This is treated as one of the most systematic methods as the chemicals flows all over the body killing the tumor as well as cancer cells. There are various kinds of chemotherapies that are used per the stages of cancer, sometimes before surgery and sometimes after. In this also, side-effects are there are more likely to arise depending upon the health of the patients.
