Ilona Warf's blog ::What You Need To Know About Lung Cancer.










Many               people               are               aware               of               lung               cancer.

More               than               219,000               new               cases               were               diagnosed               in               the               United               States,               and               more               than               159,000               people               in               the               United               States               died               from               lung               cancer.

Most               people               are               also               aware               that               smoking,               asbestos,               and               other               harmful               substances               can               cause               lung               cancer.

However,               what               many               people               don't               know               is               that               there               are               two               specific               types               of               lung               cancer               that               have               very               different               causes               and               treatments:               small               cell               lung               cancer               and               non-small               cell               lung               cancer               (NSCLC).

Understanding               the               difference               between               the               two               types               of               cancer               can               help               patients               and               families               best               consider               their               options.

What               causes               small               cell               lung               cancer?
               Approximately               13%               of               lung               cancers               are               small               cell               lung               cancers.

Small               cell               lung               cancer               is               primarily               caused               by               smoking.

Tobacco               smoke               has               actually               been               shown               to               alter               the               content               of               a               patient's               DNA,               leading               to               a               greater               likelihood               that               the               cells               will               grow               abnormally               and               become               cancerous.
               What               causes               non-small               cell               lung               cancer               (NSCLC)?
               Approximately               87%               of               lung               cancers               are               non-small               cell.

There               are               three               sub-types               of               NSCLC:               squamous               cell               carcinoma,               large               cell               carcinoma,               and               adenocarcinoma.

Each               sub-type               relates               to               the               specific               type               of               cell               affected.

NSCLC               is               closely               associated               with               smoking,               as               well               as               asbestos               or               radon               inhalation;               the               majority               of               NSCLC               cases               smoked               at               some               point               during               their               life.

Thus,               fewer               people               smoking               should               unilaterally               lower               the               prevalence               and               incidence               of               NSCLC               in               the               United               States               and               worldwide.

Secondhand               smoke               can               also               contribute               to               development               of               NSCLC               later               in               life.
               How               do               treatments               differ               for               small               cell               lung               cancer               and               NSCLC?
               NSCLC               spreads               more               slowly               than               small               cell               lung               cancer.

Consequently               small               cell               treatment               can               be               more               aggressive               in               the               early               stages               and               more               palliative               in               the               late               stages,               because               the               cancer               must               be               stopped               in               the               early               stages               to               have               more               hope               of               eradication.

By               the               time               small               cell               lung               cancer               gets               into               the               later               stages               of               disease,               it               is               much               more               difficult               to               eliminate.
               In               both               cases,               radiotherapy,               chemotherapy,               and               surgery               are               potential               options               to               treat               the               disease.

If               the               lung               cancer               is               still               in               the               early               stages               and               relatively               confined               to               one               area               in               one               or               both               lungs,               surgery               is               usually               the               first               option.

Radiotherapy               is               also               used               in               the               early               stages,               though               it               can               also               be               a               cause               for               lung               cancer               and               is               thus               used               less               frequently               than               other               forms               of               therapy.

Chemotherapy               is               typically               involved               in               later               stages               of               the               disease,               particularly               if               the               cancer               has               metastasized,               or               spread,               to               other               organs               or               multiple               parts               of               the               lung.
