Each year, more than 170,000 people in the United States learn that they have lung cancer*. This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet will give you some important information about this disease. It explains how lung cancer is diagnosed and treated, and it has information to help you deal with lung cancer if it affects you or someone you know. Other NCI booklets are listed below. Our materials cannot answer every question you may have about lung cancer. They cannot take the place of talks with doctors, nurses, and other members of the health care team. We hope our information will help with those talks. Researchers continue to look for better ways to diagnose and treat lung cancer, and our knowledge is growing. For up-to-date information, call the NCI-supported Cancer Information Service (CIS) toll free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237). The CIS is described in the Resources section of this guide. *Words that may be new to readers are printed in italics. Definitions of these and other terms related to lung cancer begin on page 25. For some words, a "sounds-like" spelling is also given. The Lungs The lungs, a pair of cone-shaped organs made up of spongy, pinkish-gray tissue, are part of the respiratory system. They take up most of the space in the chest and are separated from each other by the mediastinum, an area that contains the heart, trachea (windpipe), esophagus, and many lymph nodes. The right lung has three sections, called lobes; it is a little larger than the left lung, which has two lobes.

When my mother's cancer spread to her liver, it was roughly 11 weeks til we lost her-but she did not have lung cancer. My father died of lung cancer, and once he found out he last ed 6 weeks, so we really never knew where it had spread and the extent of the metastases. Sorry to hear about his...this is a difficult time. Hang in there.
