Lung & Chest Cancer Center

Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the United States and worldwide. However, it is one of the most preventable of cancers. Individuals can cut their risk of getting lung cancer by not smoking or quitting smoking. Non-small cell lung cancer is more common. Small cell lung cancer is harder to treat because it generally spreads faster.
