Overview

 

The cells of all living organisms normally divide and grow in a controlled manner. Cancer results when this control process is lost. A lump or tumour, known as the primary tumour can grow locally or spread to produce secondary tumours somewhere else in the body. This spreading process is called metastasis.



Causes

 

Tobacco smoke is the primary cause of lung cancer. Although nonsmokers can get lung cancer, the risk is about 10 times greater for smokers and is also increased by the number of cigarettes smoked per day.

If you are a heavy smoker consuming more than 20 cigarettes a day, the risk of developing lung cancer is about 30 to 40 times higher than if you don't smoke.

The main reason for the substantial increase in the disease over the last 50 years has been the increase in the number of people who smoke cigarettes. This has resulted from the industrial production and marketing of tobacco.

The risk of lung cancer in an ex-smoker falls to the same level as a nonsmoker after about 15 years.

 



Symptoms

 

The symptoms of lung cancer include:

  • a chronic cough.
  • worsening breathlessness.
  • weight loss.
  • excessive fatigue.
  • persistent pain in the chest or elsewhere, (possibly from the cancer spreading to a bone).
  • symptoms can be due to the original tumour in the lung or to the effects of secondary tumours elsewhere in the body.
  • bone of the most significant symptoms of lung cancer is coughing up blood or haemoptysis. This can sometimes occur as an early warning sign of a cancer which may still be curable. Any person who coughs up blood should see their GP for advice urgently as lung cancer must be considered, particularly if the person is a smoker over the age of 40.
