Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Treatment, Diagnosis, and Life after Treatment ()
ABSTRACT
Lung
cancer is becoming the most common cancer globally. In China, Lung cancer has
become prevalent among preceding compared to present smokers. There are many
treatments for lung cancer globally like Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy, Surgery,
and Targeted therapy [1] [2]. Generally, lung cancer starts in the lungs. The
spongy lungs in the chest inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Those who
smoke regularly have the highest risk of lung cancer than nonsmokers. This risk
increases with an increase in length, time, and the number of cigarettes
smoked. Immediate treatment will help in reducing the severity of cancer. The
complications of lung cancer include shortness of breath, coughing up blood,
pain, and fluid in the chest. Therefore, the primary step in preventing lung
cancer is quitting smoking [3].
