Lung Cancer
59 year old Minister Ananth Kumar passed away today. The lungs are amongst the hardest working organs in the body. They expand and contract up to 20 times a minute; to supply oxygen which is distributed to tissues all across the body and expel carbon dioxide which is created throughout the body.
Cancer in the lungs is common and people who smoke are at the highest risk of contracting lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer increases with the duration of smoking period and the number of cigarettes smoked. The silver lining though is that if one quits this habit even after several years, one can significantly reduce the chances of developing lung cancer.
Symptoms Of Lung Cancer That Occur In The Advanced Stage Of The Disease
A new cough that doesn't go away
Changes in a chronic cough or 'smoker's cough'
Coughing blood, even small amounts
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Wheezing
