Other cancer-preventive measures are minimizing exposure to carcinogens such as ultraviolet radiation and X rays and chemical carcinogens. Because there are many different types of cancers that affect different areas of the body, there are many different forms of treatment. The most common types of treatment are various surgical procedures radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is treatment with drugs that have their greatest effect on rapidly dividing cells. As of August, the American Cancer Society reported that over 170,000 people have been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Lung cancer is a formation of tumors in the lung.
Also air pollution, and certain occupational practices increases the risk of the development of canerous lung tumors. Clearly, new approaches for early detection and effective therapy are desperately needed. However, significant advances have been made in understanding the basic cellular and molecular biology of the cancer. There is encouragement that progress in this area will be applied to the prevention, early detection, and successful treatment of the cancerous tumors. Leukemia is the name of the number of malignant or cancerous diseases of the blood-forming organs.
