Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Anyone can develop lung cancer; however, 90 percent of lung cancer cases are the result of smoking. The damage lung tissues get from smoking, even with secondhand smoke, can lead to life-threatening ailments. Breathing in other hazardous substances such as asbestos, especially over a long period of time, can also cause lung cancer.

What are the symptoms of lung cancer?

Now, there are also times when the cause of lung cancer in a person cannot be determined. This is why it is important to learn about the signs and symptoms of lung cancer so that the individual can immediately take action. Lung cancer sometimes creates a substance similar to hormones, causing a wide variety of symptoms called a paraneoplastic syndrome, which include muscle weakness, confusion, seizures, coma, nausea and vomiting, fluid retention, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.

As these symptoms might be similar to other symptoms of other illnesses, it is important to note that this cancer doesn’t cause obvious symptoms in the earlier stages, diagnosis often comes after it has spread. Hence, paying a visit to the hospital to see a reliable specialist is necessary. It’s usually a good idea to seek a second opinion before beginning treatment.

What should you do to decrease your chances of developing lung cancer?

You can help lower your risk of lung cancer in the following ways:

Don’t smoke. The most important thing you can do to prevent lung cancer is to not start smoking or to quit if you smoke.

Avoid secondhand smoke. Make your home and car smoke-free.

Get your home tested for radon. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. EPA recommends that all homes be tested for radon.

Take extra precautions in the workplace. Health and safety guidelines in the workplace can help workers avoid carcinogens—things that can cause cancer.
