November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and a perfect time to quit smoking. It is also a perfect time to learn: here are 25 things that you did not know about lung cancer.
- Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women, aside from skin cancer in both, prostate cancer in men, and breast cancer in women.
- Lung cancer is the cancer that kills. Each year, more people die from lung cancer than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined.
- Smokers are not the only ones at risk for developing lung cancer, but the risk is MUCH higher in smokers.
