#LungCancerAwareness
A blue graphic with white text reading, "Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs, the organs we use to breathe. The lungs fill the upper part of the chest. They bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide and other gases. Lungs contain blood vessels, air tubes, and air sacs." A blue graphic with white text reading, "Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. It makes up about 11% of all new cancer cases." A blue graphic with white text reading, "Lung cancer is more common in people with a history of smoking and people exposed to indoor radon. People who have never smoked also can get it." A blue graphic with white text reading, "Lung cancer is difficult to treat, partly because it is often found after it has spread. Long-term survival rates are discouraging. Still, 5-year survival rates have nearly doubled since 2000, according to the National Cancer Institute."
