Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that crowd out and destroy healthy tissue, and the cessation of normal cell death. Lung cancer starts in the lining of a lung airway or a gland in the lung. The two major types of lung cancer are small cell and non-small cell. Small cell lung cancer is sometimes called "oat cell" cancer for the distinctive shape of its cells. It is fast-growing and frequently has no symptoms until it is in an advanced stage. Small cell lung cancer is responsible for about 25 percent of all lung cancers. Non-small cell lung cancer is responsible for about 75 percent of all lung cancers, and also has no symptoms in its early stages. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. Lung cancer often takes many years to develop and is difficult to detect at an early stage when it has a greater potential for cure. More Americans die each year from lung cancer than from breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined. Learn more: Patient Stories

U Hrvatskoj od raka pluća godišnje oboli 3000 ljudi S oko 3000 novooboljelih godišnje, Hrvatska se nalazi na visokom drugom mjestu u Europi po broju oboljelih i umrlih od raka pluća, a približno 90 posto oboljelih su aktivni i pasivni pušači, istaknuli su jučer predstavnici Hrvatskog pulmološkog društva na konferenciji za novinare. Pasivna opasnostNove studije pokazuju da je kod trećine bolesnika uzrok pasivno pušenje. Rak pluća u Hrvatskoj je četvrti vodeći uzrok smrti, jer se u 80 posto slučajeva otkrije u poodmakloj fazi kada postaje neizlječiv. U usporedbi s europskim zemljama gdje prosječno od raka pluća umre 40 osoba na 100.000 stanovnika, Hrvatska je odmah iza Mađarske sa 59 umrlih na 100.000 stanovnika. Stručnjaci ističu da je to teško izlječiva bolest koja se ipak u cijelosti može spriječiti, prije svega prestankom pušenja, što zatim u velikom postotku smanjuje rizik od pojave bolesti. (HINA)
