“Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. after skin cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The disease is to blame for about 1 in 5 cancer deaths, and the ACS estimates more than 127,000 people will die from it this year.
These statistics are grim, but there’s a reason why lung cancer often progresses past the point where it’s treatable: Early signs of lung cancer are often missed (or nonexistent).”
