Understanding Lung Cancer: The Basics

Lung cancer primarily occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. There are two main types of lung cancer:

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): This is the most common type, accounting for approximately 85% of all cases. It is characterized by slower growth.
• Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): This type represents about 15% of lung cancer cases and is known for its aggressive nature.

Symptoms of lung cancer may include:

• Persistent cough that worsens over time
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Unintentional weight loss
• Coughing up blood

If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical advice from experts at the Lung Cancer Clinic SG.
