Introduction to Lung Cancer
Lung cancer develops when certain cells in the lungs grow abnormally to form a tumor. Lung cancer is a serious condition that is usually diagnosed by a lung doctor but requires a multi-disciplinary team to manage.
Common Symptoms due to Lung Cancer:
- Quite often patients have no symptoms at all
- Coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
- Abnormal chest X-ray or a CT scan
- Abnormal weight loss
- Fatigue
- Hoarse voice
Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer
A biopsy is required to determine the type of lung cancer following a thorough radiologic and physical examination.

Screening for Lung Cancer
Lung cancer screening is done in people who are at a higher risk for lung cancer, before they develop any symptoms of lung cancer. This is done using CT scan protocols based on the risk factor profile. At Breathe Oklahoma, we help patients with lung cancer screening and surveillance using nationally validated protocols.
