Lung Cancer: Understanding the Disease and Your Rights

Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer, affecting thousands of people each year. While smoking is the leading cause, exposure to harmful substances like asbestos can also significantly increase the risk of developing this devastating disease. At the Gold Law Firm, we are committed to helping victims of asbestos-related lung cancer seek justice and compensation.

Lung Cancer: Understanding the Disease and Your Rights

Understanding Lung Cancer

Lung cancer occurs when cells in the lungs grow and divide uncontrollably, forming tumors that interfere with the lung's ability to function properly. There are two main types of lung cancer:

  1. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): This is the most common form, accounting for about 80-85% of all lung cancer cases. It includes subtypes such as adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
  2. Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): This type makes up about 10-15% of lung cancer cases and tends to grow and spread more quickly than NSCLC.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Early-stage lung cancer often doesn't cause noticeable symptoms, which is why regular screenings are crucial for high-risk individuals. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include:

Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests (X-rays, CT scans), biopsies, and blood tests. A thorough medical history, including potential asbestos exposure, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
