There are many symptoms to be aware of with early lung cancer. As with any cancer, early detection is critical. The earlier you are able to find out about a cancer in your body, the more types of treatments will be available and the greater the chances are of defeating the cancer. A cancer in the body is simply abnormal cell growth, mutated cell growth if you will.
Cigarettes are a prime cause of cancer, especially throat and lung cancer. Cigarettes are avoidable so long as you are not addicted to them. If you are, your chances of an early death are almost guaranteed. There are a few exceptions, like Jack Burns, who lived past 100 while still smoking cigars. While his store made the news, most others who smoke will not make 80 years old.
