Lung cancer remains a formidable challenge, impacting the lives of millions worldwide. As one of the most prevalent and lethal forms of cancer, understanding this disease, its risk factors, early detection methods and available treatments is crucial. This article aims to shed light on lung cancer, providing information on its various aspects and emphasizing the importance of awareness, early intervention, and hope for those affected. Low-dose computed tomography scans are recommended for high-risk individuals, such as long-term smokers. Surgery is most effective in the early stages of non-small cell lung cancer. High-energy rays target and destroy cancer cells. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with surgery and chemotherapy.
