Lung Cancer. A Rising Incidence for Smokers and Nonsmokers
Description
Researchers are not sure why nonsmokers develop lung cancer, but nearly 60 percent of people with the disease had already stopped smoking when they were diagnosed, and a substantial number had never smoked at all. This program describes the first symptoms of lung cancer and diagnostic techniques that can make early detection-and hence higher cure rates-easier. With input from three cancer patients and expert commentary from Dr. Mark Kris of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, viewers also learn how the array of treatment options currently available makes reaching and even surpassing the five-year survival mark more of a reality.
