The lungs are the organs used in breathing. When a person inhales, his lungs take in oxygen; when he exhales, they release carbon dioxide. These organs are pink and have a rubbery appearance on the outside but are spongy on the inside. There are many things that may contribute to the development of lung cancer, but cigarette smoke is among the most likely culprits.

When a person is diagnosed with lung cancer, it means he has a type of cancer that has begun in his lungs. Lung cancer is a leading killer of people in many countries. In some cases, it can be treated successfully and doesn't result in fatality. In fact, lung cancer is most likely to respond well to treatment when it is diagnosed and treated early. Unfortunately, however, some forms of lung cancer are more aggressive or difficult to treat than others, and early diagnosis doesn't guarantee recovery.
