Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the cause of more than half of cancer deaths each year. Familial risk is important in lung cancer, although the genetic basis of the disease is still unclear. The aim of the study is to investigate whether there is a familial predisposition for lung and non-lung cancer types in old and newly diagnosed lung cancer cases in the chest diseases clinic, and to investigate the relationship of this predisposition with demographic factors such as histopathological type, disease stage and gender.

Definition of Cancer Used for a large group of diseases, all of which have one thing in common: The uncontrolled breakdown of cells of an organ or tissue. As a result, a tumor (tumor) is formed. Malignant tumors go out of the normal growth control of the organism. Over-the-counter cells proliferate in an unrestrained manner. They penetrate the surrounding tissues, grow in them and destroy it, can enter the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, reach other body organs by blood flow and lymph flow. The cells of resistant tumors can migrate to other organs and reproduce – thereby forming sister tumors (metastases) that resemble resistant tumors. Lung cancer is one of the cancer types defined as resistant tumor. Cells of blood cancer types spread throughout the body along with the blood. Some types of these also form knots and tubers, which are very similar to durable true tumors.

Lung cancer is one of the most important causes of cancer-related death worldwide. However, according to the latest research, Anadolu Health Center Medical Oncology Specialist Prof. Dr. Serdar Turhal reminded that it is very important that people with a history of smoking should not neglect their lung screening tests.
