What are the causes of lung cancer? Most frequently blamed causes are from tobacco smoking. There are a few other possibilities, such as environmental pollution, radon, and industrial dust or chemical exposure.

Several risk factors contribute to lung cancer. Women who smoke are most at risk. Quitting smoking at any age can improve your chances of avoiding lung cancer. Second hand smoke is also a contributor.

Radon, asbestos and uranium contaminants can accumulate in homes, but there are simple tests to confirm if levels are safe.

Family history and drinking alcohol may increase risk of lung cancer.

What are the symptoms of lung cancer? Mostly cancer of the lungs causes difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, difficulty swallowing and fatigue from loss of appetite and weight loss.

What are the treatments for lung cancer?  Depending on the extent and location of tumors treatment is limited. Localized tumors can be removed by surgery. Standard cancer treatment with radiation and chemotherapy follow.

Successful outcomes are related to when the cancer is first discovered and treated, and patients prior health and age affect the prognosis significantly.
