Lung Cancer; A Disease That Traps Both Smokers And Non-Smokers
Everyone had either heard of it or used it at least once in their lives that, “prevention is better than cure.” However, prevention can possibly save one from getting weak, or regular cold. But the truth is to be told that several diseases are incurable after crossing a certain stage.
Over the decades, Cancer has become one of the major causes of deaths. Out of 8 major types of cancer, lung cancer is one of the most widely spread cancer which kills the maximum number of people each year, which includes both men and women around the globe. We all have heard of examples where cancer patients are cured, however, the number of people dying from it is rapidly increasing.
Existence Before Cigarettes
You’ll be surprised to know that lung cancer existed much before cigarettes came in trend. When there was almost no pollution compared to today’s date. The first case of lung cancer was recorded in 1761. But those days, only people with multiple health issues used to have it. Also, it is assumed that lung cancer only affects the lungs, when in reality this disease can spread across the body in a process called metastasis which means tumors can spread to the brain and can cause loss of vital functions e.g. vision.
