Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world. It typically develops in the epithelial cells around the bronchial area before spreading to the surrounding pulmonary system. It can be characterized by cough, general fatigue and weakness, hoarseness, and/or persistent fever. Smoking, exposure to environmental pollution, radiation, and family history of the illness are all risk factors for lung cancer. The role of diet should not be underestimated as it can also play a significant role in both pathology and treatment.
