Recommendation Vitamin E"High levels of alpha-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) in the blood appear to reduce the risk of developing lung cancer in smokers by about 20%..."
Lung cancer is the excessive growth of anomalous cells in the lungs.
Cancer that affects the lungs, usually caused by smoking.
an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in lung tissue. Primary lung cancer originates in the lungs, while metastic lung cancer spreads to the lungs from another organ. Classification is based on the type of cell the cancer originates from: adenocarcinoma, alveolar cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell, and small cell carcinomas.
Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. The two main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These types are diagnosed based on how the cells look under a microscope.
begins when cells in the lungs grow out of control and take over healthy cells What do I need to know about lung cancer
Malignant neoplasms of the lung.
The uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lung.
The leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., lung cancer is broken down into two groups: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Although there is no cure, preventative measures can drastically reduce a person's risk of developing lung cancer.
lung cancer - malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Lung cancers can be divided into two types: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The cancer cells of each type grow and spread in different ways, and they are treated differently. Non-small cell lung cancer is usually associated with prior smoking, passive smoking, or radon exposure. The main kinds of non-small cell lung cancer are named for the type of cells found in the cancer: squamous cell carcinoma (also called epidermoid carcinoma), adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma.
The Condition"...Apart from smoking cessation, further reduction of risk may be achieved by weight loss (when appropriate), a healthier diet (fruits and cabbage family vegetables), and supplements such as selenium and vitamins C and E..." Recommendation Selenium"A double-blind study demonstrated that supplementation with 200 mcg/day of selenium (in the form of high-selenium brewer's yeast) reduced the incidence of prostate, colorectal and lung cancer, and reduced overall cancer mortality by 50%..."
Our Question about omega-6 oil intake"...Lung cancer was not so much of a problem for smokers until polyunsaturated oils such as corn, safflower and sunflower were added to the diet during the 1950s in the United States..."
A type of cancer that grows in the lung or the tissues around it. There are two main types: small cell and non-small cell. See lung cancer section.
Our Question about diesel exhaust exposure"...A preliminary report, still undergoing review by experts, states that "For carcinogenic hazard and risk of cancer over a lifetime, the EPA is recommending that exposure (to diesel exhaust) be viewed as likely to pose a risk at low levels, as well as high levels..."
Lung cancer is the malignant transformation and expansion of lung tissue, and is the most lethal of all cancers worldwide, responsible for up to 3 million deaths annually. Although lung cancer was previously an illness that predominantly affected males, the incidence in women has been increasing in the last few decades, which has been attributed to the rising ratio of female to male smokers. Currently, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women, overshadowing breast cancer, ovarian cancer and uterine cancers combined.http://www.nationallungcancerpartnership.org/page.cfm?l=factsWomen National Lung Cancer Partnership: Lung Cancer in American Women However, it is of note that there are certain types of lung cancers that appear in otherwise healthy patients who have never smoked.
