A CT scan can reveal small lesions in your lungs that might not be detected on an X-ray. Sputum cytology. If you have a cough and are producing sputum, looking at the sputum under the microscope can sometimes reveal the presence of lung cancercell.

Lung cancer happens when cells in the lung change (mutate). They grow uncontrollably and cluster together to form a tumor. Lung cells most often change because they are exposed to dangerous chemicals that we breathe. There are two main types of lung cancer, small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. You can get lung cancer by smoking so just stop

Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.

Estimates show smoking increases the risk:

For coronary heart disease by 2 to 4 times

For stroke by 2 to 4 times

Of men developing lung cancer by 25 times

Of women developing lung cancer by 25.7 times

Smoking causes diminished overall health, increased absenteeism from work, and increased health care utilization and cost.

One way that smoking can increase your risk of a stroke is by increasing your chances of developing a brain aneurysm. This is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall. This can rupture or burst which will lead to an extremely serious condition known as a subarachnoid haemorrhage, which is a type of stroke, and can cause extensive brain damage and death.

When you smoke, the toxins from cigarette smoke enter your blood. The toxins in your blood then:

Make your blood thicker, and increase chances of clot formation

Increase your blood pressure and heart rate, making your heart work harder than normal

Narrow your arteries, reducing the amount of oxygen rich blood circulating to your organs.

Together, these changes to your body when you smoke increase the chance of your arteries narrowing and clots forming, which can cause a heart attack or stroke.

Smokers have an increased chance of getting stomach cancer or ulcers. Smoking can weaken the muscle that controls the lower end of your gullet (oesophagus) and allow acid from the stomach to travel in the wrong direction back up your gullet, a process known as reflux.

Smoking is a significant risk factor for developing kidney cancer, and the more you smoke the greater the risk. For example, research has shown that if you regularly smoke 10 cigarettes a day, you are one and a half times more likely to develop kidney cancer compared with a non-smoker. This is increased to twice as likely if you smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day.

How is Lung Cancer Detected Early?

As mentioned in Can Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Be Found Early?, screening with spiral CT scans in people at high risk of lung cancer (due to smoking history) lowers the risk of death from lung cancer, when compared to chest x-rays.

Another approach now being studied uses newer, sensitive tests to look for cancer cells in sputum samples. Researchers have found several changes often seen in the DNA of lung cancer cells. Studies are looking at tests that can spot these DNA changes to see if they can find lung cancers at an earlier stage.

When Is It Done?

The type of lung cancer surgery your doctor recommends will depend upon several factors, including:

The location of your tumor.

The size of your tumor.

Whether or not your tumor has spread to nearby tissues.

Your general state of health.

How well your lungs are functioning prior to surgery.

A pneumonectomy is most commonly done as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, when a less invasive procedure, such as a lobectomy, cannot remove the entire tumor.

This may occur if the tumor is large, if it has spread beyond a single lobe, or if it is located in the central area of the lungs.

Because a pneumonectomy involves the removal of an entire lung, the procedure is usually reserved for those people who have adequate lung function and will be able to tolerate living with only one lung.

That said, many people have gone on to live active lives following a pneumonectomy.

Lung surgery, or thoracotomy, is a procedure where the surgeon opens up the chest cavity* to gain access to the lungs. An incision* is made in the side of the chest and the ribs are spread apart, so your surgeon can remove cancerous tissue from the lungs.

Cavity*= hole

Incision*= a surgical cut

Pain areas: in the chest or rib

Pain types: can be dull or sharp

Pain circumstances: can occur while breathing

Cough: can be chronic, dry, with phlegm, severe, or with blood

Whole body: fatigue, loss of appetite, or weakness

Respiratory: frequent respiratory infections, shortness of breath, or wheezing

Also common: chest discomfort, hoarseness, swollen lymph nodes, or weight loss

When NSCLC has spread outside of the lungs, it can be difficult to treat. The 5-year survival rate for stage IV NSCLC is around 1%. Each year, tens of thousands of people are cured of NSCLC in the United States. And, some patients with advanced lung cancer can live many years after diagnosis.

In 2016, around 14 per cent of people aged 18 years and over smoked. Of particular concern is the smoking rate among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanderples, which in 2014–15 was reported to be 42 per cent among people aged 15 years and over – more than double that of the wider community.

Selected statistics from the 2016 National Drug Strategy Household Survey include:

In 2016, the male smoking rate was 16 per cent and the female smoking rate was 12 per cent (where current smoking included people who smoked daily and weekly).

Male smoking rates were higher in all adult age groups.

People aged 25–29 years and 40-49 years had higher smoking rates than other age groups, with a smoking rate of 18 per cent in both age groups.

People aged 70 years and over were least likely to smoke (6 per cent).

Daily smoking rates for Australians aged 18 and over have dropped from 20 per cent in 2001 to 13 percent in 2016.

People who have quit smoking outnumber people who currently smoke: in 2016, just over 24 per cent of Australians had quit smoking during their lifetime.

By 2016, 61 per cent of people who had ever smoked had quit.

Smoking in Victoria

The Centre for Behavioural Research in Cancer estimates that in 2015, 14.1 per cent of Victorian adults aged 18 and over smoked regularly (on a daily or weekly basis). Also:

The smoking rate for men (16.5 per cent) was higher than for women (11.9 per cent).

People who had quit smoking greatly outnumbered people who currently smoked: 28.4 per cent of men and 23.7 per cent of women had quit smoking in Victoria.

Smoking rates were higher among people with lower education: 21.7 per cent of persons who had not completed year 12, compared to 12.7 per cent of people who had completed year 12 or tertiary education.

The 2014 survey of Victorian secondary school students estimated that 3 per cent of male and 4 per cent of female 12–15 year old students currently smoked. Among 16–17 year old students, 10 per cent of males and 12 per cent of females had smoked in the week before the survey. Alarmingly, the average age of adolescents taking up smoking is around 16 years old.

Smoking causes stroke and coronary heart disease, which are among the leading causes of death in the United States.

Even people who smoke fewer than five cigarettes a day can have early signs of cardiovascular disease.

Smoking damages blood vessels and can make them thicken and grow narrower. This makes your heart beat faster and your blood pressure go up. Clots can also form.
