Summary: {{Notapprovedwarning}} {{stub}} {{Guidenote|note= [[Lung Cancer|Lung Cancer]] is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the [[Lung]]. This growth may lead to metastasis, invasion of adjacent tissue and infiltration beyond the lungs. The vast majority of primary Lung cancers are carcinomas of the Lung, derived from epithelial cells. Treatment for Lung Cancer depends on the Cancer's specific cell type, how far it has spread, and the patient's performance status. Common treatments include surgery, [[Chemotherapy|chemotherapy]], and [[Radiation Therapy|radiation therapy]].
