Lung Cancer

imageLung cancer kills more Americans every year than any other kind of cancer.  Tobacco use is the major cause of lung cancer in both men and women. The most important thing a person can do to prevent lung cancer is to quit smoking, or better yet, never start in the first place.  People should also try to avoid secondhand smoke and clear their homes and workplaces of chemicals or gases that are known to cause cancer.  To get answers to all your lung cancer questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.
