How Lung Cancer Develops: A Simple Visual Guide

It all begins with healthy lungs

Healthy lungs work tirelessly - exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide to keep your body strong.

When cells stop behaving normally

Damage from smoking, air pollution, or toxins can make lung cells grow uncontrollably. 

Abnormal cells form a tumor

These damaged cells multiply rapidly, forming a lump that blocks airways and affects breathing. 

Cancer begins to spread

If not treated early, cancer cells travel through the bloodstream or lymph nodes to other organs.
