Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is an abnormal growth of cells within the lung tissue, which can affect the airways or nearby structures and impair breathing function.
Warning signs: A persistent cough, changes in the voice, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or unexplained fatigue often prompt an evaluation.
Associated factors: Tobacco use, prolonged exposure to smoke or to certain substances in the workplace, and a family history are linked to a higher risk.
Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist evaluates breathing function, and the oncologist coordinates the approach when a tumor process is confirmed; the internist and the general surgeon may take part depending on the case. If you have respiratory symptoms that do not let up, it is best to seek a timely professional evaluation.
