Lung cancer originates from the tissues of the lung, typically in the cells lining the air passages. The two main types of lung cancer are: small-cell lung cancer and non-small
cell lung cancer. They are diagnosed based on how the cells look under a microscope.
Non-small cell lung cancer is more common and includes squamous cell carcinoma,
adeno carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. Small cell lung cancer is rarer but tends to
be aggressive and difficult to find until it has already spread (especially to the brain).

Exterior Lung

  • Most common form
  • Occurs mainly in current or former smokers, but is also found in young adults, women, and people who have never smoked.
  • Usually begins in the outer regions of the lungs

Interior Lung

  • Usually begins in the center of the lungs
  • Often spreads to other parts of the body because of constant flow of blood and lymph through the lungs
  • May cause symptoms at an early stage as compared to cancer in the outer lungs

People who smoke are at greater risk of developing lung cancer than people who do not. The risk of lung cancer increases with the length of time and number of cigarettes you have smoked. If you quit smoking, even after smoking for many years, you can significantly reduce your chances of developing lung cancer.

Signs and symptoms of lung cancer typically occur when the disease is in an advanced stage. It is the most common cancer In India and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men.

Stages of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer typically doesn’t cause obvious symptoms in the earlier stages, making early detection difficult without screening tests.

  • Stage - Early

Confined to a single area

Cancer is detected in the lung, but it has not spread outside the lung.

93% 5-yr surviva
  • Stage - Localised

Grown, may affect lymph nodes

Cancer is detected in the lung and has spread to nearby lymph nodes.

70% 5-yr survival
  • Stage - Regional Spread

Spread to nearby tissues

Cancer is detected in the lung and lymph nodes in the middle of the chest.

40% 5-yr survival
  • Stage - Distant Spread

Spread to other organs

Cancer has spread to the other lung, surrounding areas, or distant organs.

24% 5-yr survival
  • Small-cell lung cancer has two main stages: the limited stage, where cancer is found in only one lung or nearby lymph nodes on the same side, and the extensive stage, where cancer has spread throughout one lung, to the opposite lung, or to distant organs.

Risk Factors

Several lifestyle and environmental factors can significantly increase your risk of lung cancer. Know them early.

  • Tobacco consumption and inhaling secondhand smoke (smoke exhaled by the smoker) increases your risk for lung cancer
  • Poor living and working conditions are known to increase the risk of lung cancer. This includes exposure to arsenic, chromium, diesel exhaust, silica, nickel, and chemicals in the workplace or to toxic chemical particles from smoke clinging to household items like curtains, furniture
  • Inhaling asbestos fibers has been directly linked to increasing the risk to lung cancer and other respiratory conditions. Asbestos is widely used in house construction, automobiles parts and textiles.
  • Exposure to Radon that is released naturally from dirt and rocks, construction material, and natural cooking gas. It can accumulate in homes and buildings and is usually highest in the basement.
  • An unhealthy diet with a low intake of foods like carrots that are rich in beta-carotene, a Vitamin A deficiency, or drinking water contaminated with arsenic put you at a higher risk of lung cancer.
  • People with a family history of lung cancer in first degree relatives (parent, sibling, or child), sharing the same living space with an affected person, or have received radiation therapy to the chest area are at higher risk.

Nura Recommends :

Early screening is the smartest way to protect yourself. Nura’s advanced low-dose CT with Japanese Ai can detect lung issues years before symptoms appear.

  • Start screening at age 35, or earlier if you have any of the above risk factors
  • Annual screening gives the most accurate picture of your lung health
  • No fasting, no preparation — quick and comfortable walk-in screening
  • Get expert-reviewed reports on the same day

Breast Cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women and is highly treatable if detected early. The survival rate is 99% if it is found early and treated.
While it is not clear why some people who don’t have risk factors develop breast cancer while others with risk factors don’t, research has identified that lifestyle, environmental and hormonal factors may increase your risk for the disease. About 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are linked to inherited mutated genes.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. In India, 25.8 per one lakh women is likely to develop breast cancer during her lifetime.

How Breast Cancer Develops?

  • Typically forms in the milk-producing glands or the ducts which bring this milk to the nipple.
  • The cancer can sometimes develop in the tissues of the breast.
  • One of the main ways it spreads is through the lymphatic system
