Which of the following is the most effective statement or question that the physician can use to encourage the patient to give up smoking? Answers A - E A "You must stop smoking because it causes lung cancer and many other illnesses" B "Why does an intelligent person like you continue to smoke?" C "Do you have any relatives who died of lung cancer?" D "I would like to show you a picture of what the lungs look like after smoking" E "Please tell me how I can help you stop smoking" O Oarrow_forwardSmoking cigarettes has been shown to be associated with the development of lung cancer. However, a direct correlation between how many cigarettes one smokes and the onset of lung cancer does not exist. A heavy smoker may not develop lung cancer, whereas a light smoker may develop the disease. Explain why this may be.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements related to Radiation Therapy is FALSE? Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA within cancer cells and destroying their ability to reproduce. When the damaged cancer cells are destroyed by radiation, the body naturally eliminates them. ONormal cells are affected by radiation, but they are able to repair themselves. Radiation therapy is the only treatment a patient with cancer needs.arrow_forward
- A woman is near death from a special kind of cancer. There is one drug that doctors know will save her, with 100% certainty, but it is very expensive. The sick woman's husband cannot afford the medicine. He explains the situation to the druggist, but the druggist refuses to give him the drug.

Mutated cells begin to grow and divide uncontrollably forming abnormal cells known as tumors. Tumors can be classified as small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tumor invades nearby tissues (Lung tissue, blood vessels, and lymph nodes.) Cause structural damage.
