By far one of the major causes of cancer deaths in both men and women is lung cancer. Why? Because the symptoms usually do not show up until the disease has reached its advanced stage and has become untreatable. And even if they show up, people mistake them as any other health condition that may be because of an infection. This approach delays the diagnosis; thus, affecting the lung cancer survival rate. However, like any other cancer, lung cancer treatment can be a lifesaver, if the condition is detected in its early stage.
