Cancer Lung cancer falls into a deadly disease for both men and women. Compared withother cancer types, such as prostate cancer, colon cancer, and breast cancer. Lungcancer is a form of very rapid development of the cells (abnormal) in lung tissue caused by changes in tissue form cells or expansion of the cells themselves.
Lung cancer most often spreads to the lymph nodes, brain, bone, liver and adrenal glands.
Stages of lung cancer
• Occult stage: Lung cancer cells are found in the sputum (sputum) or in a sample of water collected during bronchoscopy, but no visible tumors in the lung.
• Stage 0: Cancer cells are found only in the innermost lining of the lung. The tumor has not grown through this lining. Tumor Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ. The tumor is notinvasive cancer.
• Stage I: The lung tumor is an invasive cancer. This tumor has grown through the innermost lining of the lungs and into the lung tissue more deeply. Cancer cells are not found in lymph nodes in the vicinity.
• Stage II: The lung tumor may be of any size, but the tumor has not invaded organs in the vicinity. Cancer cells are found in lymph nodes nearby.
• Stage III: The lung tumor has spread to nearby organs, or to the chest wall, diaphragm,large vessels or lymph nodes on the same side or on opposite sides of the tumor.
• Stage IV: Malignant growths may be found in more than one lobe of the lung are the same, or in the lungs of others. Cancer cells can be found in other parts of the body, such as the brain, adrenal glands, liver or bones.
