Informative Speech On Lung Cancer

     Lung cancer is the most common cancer-related cause of death among men and women. Lung cancer can be undetected for many years causing it to become more dangerous and possibly fatal. There is not cure for lung cancer or any cancer, but if detected in an early stage the lung cancer can be detected, treated, and hopefully terminated. There are many new and developing treatments being tested now that may save lives in the future. Through understanding what the lung cancer is, doctors can easily diagnose and assess cancer patients.

Brief Description: Lung cancer, as with all cancers, is an uncontrollable increase of cells. It happens within the lung tissue, but it could also go on to affect other nearby tissue and spread to further out than just the lungs.

Hello everyone! My name is Edric and today I will be talking to all of you about Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, other known as NSCLC.

Cancer is the leading cause of deaths in Canada to this day. There are many reasons why someone could get cancer whether it be from chemicals, from a virus or bacteria, passed on through genetics or even radiation. Some people believe that cancer will only effect someone if they are doing things that can lead to cancer but that isn't always the case, cancer can hit anyone at any point in their life. The specific cancer that I will be talking about is lung cancer and to get even more specific small cell lung cancer. There are two main types of small cell lung cancer which are small cell carcinoma also known as oat cell carcinoma and combined small cell carcinoma which means that there are many different types of cells, not all the cancerous

Lung Cancer-It is most common in people ages 41-60+.There are three types of lung cancer which are:Non-small lung cancer,Small cell lung cancer,and lung carcinoid tumor. It is commonly caused by smoking,secondhand smoking, and sometimes heredity.

Lungs are located in the either side of your chest. When you breathe, air goes through your nose, down your windpipe, and into the lungs where it spreads through tubes called bronchi. Most lung cancer cells begin in the cells that line these tubes. Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs (Lungcancer.org). In biology, I learned that a cancer cell is basically a dead cell. The cancer cell is a failed cell, it doesn’t work, or it just doesn’t reproduce at all. Although researchers found that it takes series of mutation to create a lung cancer cell (Lungcancer.org).

Lung Cancer is one of the most common type of cancer that is affecting a lot of people in the present days. Smoking Cigarette is known as the principal risk factor for development of lung cancer, but there are other causes as well. People usually look for various information regarding this over the internet which is also filled with some misconceptions regarding this disease. Here is a list of some common myths regarding lung cancer that require to be busted for better knowledge:

“In 2016 it is estimated that there will be 1.7 million new cancer cases and 600,000 cancer deaths. That is approximately 4,620 new cases and 1,630 cancer deaths every day. Which means in 2016 every minute that passes 3 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 1 person will die from cancer.” Cancer is more easily known as the “C” word. A word that can strip children of a mother, can strip a wife of her husband, can strip grandchildren of a grandparent. A six letter word that can take everything.

Lung cancer is cancerous tissues that forms within the lungs. Most of the time, you will see that the cancer affect the cells that line the air passages. There are two classifications of lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Lung cancer affects the body by blocking your airways. This causes the person to have a hard time breathing. Another thing that can happen is that the cancerous tumors could spread to other parts on the body because of the cancer in the lungs. This will happen when a tumor could potentially shed malignant cells. After the tumor sheds the cells it can be then transported to other parts of the body. The cell is most likely spread through the bloodstream from the lymph fluid in the lungs tissues (Witschi, 2001).

Lung cancer is a very common malignant disease around the world, which is mainly caused by long-term exposure to tobacco smoke (85% of all cases). [1] It is reported by WHO that, globally in 2012, 1.8 million people suffered from lung cancer, and 1.6 million patients died of lung cancer. [2] In cancer-related death all around the world, lung cancer ranks the top in men and second in women, only after breast cancer. [3] Statistically, 17.4% of lung cancer patients in the United States only have five-year survival after the diagnosis, and the average survival rate is even worse in the developing countries. [4]

Cancer is a fatal disease that claims the lives of thousands upon thousands people each year. It is the leading cause of death due to diseases worldwide. What is cancer? Cancer is the disease of our body cells. The cells in our body begin to divide out of control and form a mass of disorganized cells, called tumor.1 These cells can cause more harm to the person when they begin spreading to other sites of the body, invading our body tissues.

Lung cancer is “the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs”. These abnormal cells do not carry out the functions of normal lung cells and do not develop into healthy lung tissue. As they grow, “the abnormal cells can form tumors and interfere with the functioning of the lung, which provides oxygen to the body via the blood”. There are two major types of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Staging lung cancer is based on whether the cancer is local or has spread from the lungs to the lymph nodes or other organs. Because the lungs are large, tumors can grow in them for a long

Lung cancer is a disease that effects the lungs. This type of cancer initiates in the lungs. The lungs are two spongy like organs in the chest that take in oxygen when you inhale and release carbon dioxide when you exhale. People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer. The risk increases with the numbers if cigarettes you have smoked. If a person quit smoking, they can reduce the chances of developing lung, cancer. It is estimated that about 90% of male lung cancer deaths and 75–80% of lung cancer deaths in the US are caused by smoking each year. Lung cancer has the lead in the most cancer deaths in the United States, with over 158,900 deaths in 1999, and worldwide, lung cancer kills over 1 million people a year.

For this project I decided to research lung cancer. My grandfather had lung cancer for years and is cleared for now. One main cause of lung cancer is smoking. Heavier smokers have a bigger chance of getting this disease unlike light smokers. Young smokers also have a increasing risk of getting lung cancer too. When you are exposed to gases or if you are a welder; have an increasing chance. People ages 45 and 75 get lung cancer primarily.

Cancer is a major problem in society today. As a matter of fact, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Cancer is everywhere. You see it on TV, in online articles, social media, etc. Il.
