Informative Speech On Lung Cancer

Lung cancer occurs when a odd cells in the lung grow in an uncontrolled way. It often spreads to other parts of the body before the cancer can be identify in the lungs. Lung cancer is 1 of the 10 most common cancers in both men and women in Australia.

     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.

A common form of cancer that is very popular today is lung cancer. Lung cancer is a very dangerous form that can cause problems in simple body functions. These simple body functions are short breath and general fatigue. Lung cancer is commonly formed from smokers that has been exposed to that activity for numerous years. Lung cancer can also be spread by being exposed to asbestos or other pollutants. This form of cancer has many risk factors to it. These risk factors are high levels of air pollution, arsenic drinking water, and radon gas. Radon gas is a gas that is highly radioactive and is very sensitive to the body. Once radon is exposed to the body, it has a very high respiration rate which initially divide its radioactive cells- causing more significant damage to the body.

Lung Cancer, like any other type of cancer, is the uncontrollable growth of cells in the lung tissue. The main causes that contribute to lung cancer include inhaling carcinogens (basically, smoking), exposure to ionizing radiation, viral infections and even air pollution. These factors basically damage the tissues lining the bronchi in the lung, leading the cancer to develop further (Vaporciyan & Nesbitt JC, 2000). Primary lung cancers that develop in the epithelial tissues of the lung are known as carcinomas and claim the top spot in terms of leading cancer-related death causes. As of 2004, lung cancer

During our lifetime we have heard of many people or know people that have cancer time and time again. We see it from movies to stories we see whether online or that we know. Most people know what it is but do we really know. Today I will talk about: General description of what cancer is, biology of the disease, symptoms, treatments, genetics and information on how to deal with this situation if you have or know of somebody that has cancer. At the end I hope you are inform what cancer is.

Lung Cancer is a disease which consists of uncontrolled cell growth in lung tissues. Lung cancer consists of two types, Non-small cell lung cancer, and small cell lung cancer. (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. The bronchi are the large air tubes leading from the trachea to the lungs that convey air to and from the lungs, and where most lung cancers begin. The body normally maintains cell growth only

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.

Lung cancer is a cancer that originates in the lungs. Lung cancer often goes undetected in the early stages, since symptoms don't usually present themselves until the advanced stages of the disease.

first of all, I will start with this sentence (Cancer is a scary word almost everyone knows someone who got very sick or died from cancer). And then I will say what is cancer? Cancer is actually a group of many related diseases that all have to do with cells. Cells are the very small units that make up all living things, including the human body. There are billions of cells in each person's body. Cancer happens when cells that are not normal grow and spread very fast. Normal body cells grow and then they stop growing, over time they also die. But the cancer cells just continue to grow out of control and don't die when they're supposed to.

Lung cancer is a condition that occurs when an abnormal cluster of cells develop inside of the lungs. Because this is one of the most common forms of cancer, it is important for everyone to learn all that they can about it. Below is a list of some of the important facts about lung cancer:

Lung cancer can become suspected after a spot is seen on an x-ray that may have been taken due to a persistent cough, chest pain, etc.

“Treatments for cancer can include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation depending on the type of cancer and how advanced it is.” Chemotherapy fills the body with anti-cancer drugs. The drugs are so strong that they disable the bodies immune system. Treatments for cancer is an indescribable experience. Patients who go through treatment for their cancer have no option but to fight for their life. Fighting for their life can include “extreme fatigue, vomiting, pain, nerve problems, loss of hair, sleep problems, urinary problems, memory problems, and more.” Cancer will affect approximately 39.6 percent of women and men in their lifetime. Around 171.2 per 100,000 people will die from cancer. It is certainly not a silent killer, virtually everyone has a way of relating to the

The treatment varies depending on your general health, breathing and the stage of the cancer. The staging of the cancer determines how bad the cancer is, allows the doctor to provide the appropriate treatment and estimating a patient’s prognosis (cause, how it has progressed). There are 5 stages where lung cancer can be classified:

It was one thought that lung cancer was strictly caused by lifestyle choices, but over the past years, it has been shown that lifestyle isn’t the thing that can potentially allow one to contract lung cancer. The environment along with tobacco use and genetics can also play a role in contracting lung cancer. In an industrial world, pollution has been a reoccurring problem. With emissions from vehicles and industrial power plants, air pollution and/or smog has been hovering over us. In places like China who are thriving in the industrial world, are being greatly affected by air pollution. According to Brody, “In Asia, lung cancer is alarmingly

Lung Cancer, like any other types of cancer, is an excessive production of lung cells. Human body has a maintain system of checks and balances on cell growth thus cells divide to produce new cells as it needed. Any changes of this balance system such as smoking Cigarette, high levels of air pollution, Arsenic poisoning, Radiation therapy and etc. These causative agents will lead to uncontrolled cell division which result excessive amount of cells eventually forms a mass known as a tumor.
