Lung cancer is a cancer of the windpipe (trachea), airways (bronchi) or lung air sacs (alveoli). It is the leading cause of death from cancer worldwide.
Smoking is the biggest risk factor for lung cancer and the risk increases with the number of years a person has smoked. Lung cancer can also affect people who have never smoked. As with all cancers, survival rates are much higher when it is caught early.
