Advances in Lung Cancer

Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth can spread beyond the lung by the process of metastasis into nearby tissue or other parts of the body. Most cancers that start in the lung, known as primary lung cancers, are carcinomas. The two main types are small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The most common symptoms are coughing (including coughing up blood), weight loss, shortness of breath, and chest pains.

 

In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about Lung Cancer published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Disparities in women’s cancer, biomedical databases, cancer cell proliferation, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in Lung Cancer as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
