Lung cancer is the most deadly type but breakthroughs and treatments offer new hope

BY KATIE CHARLES
THE DAILY CHECKUP

More Americans die of lung cancer than any other cancer. Last year the disease killed about 160,000 people, which is an average of 437 deaths per day. "Lung cancer is just what it sounds like — a cancer in the lung," says Rosenzweig.
We divide lung cancer into two main types: small-cell lung cancer, which tends to be treated with chemotherapy and radiation, and all other types, which are grouped together as non-small-cell lung cancer and treated with a combination of surgery, chemo and radiation."

The biggest risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. "If there were a top-10 list of causes of lung cancer, numbers one to nine would be smoking and other tobacco use," says Rosenzweig. "About 10% of people who develop lung cancer never smoked."

Environmental factors like radon exposure can increase risk, and some people are genetically predisposed. "The main thing is smoking, smoking, smoking — there's a correlation between how much you smoke and your risk of developing lung cancer," says Rosenzweig. "People who quit smoking are at lower risk than a life-long smoker."

Although 10,000 more men are diagnosed with lung cancer than women, it's still the leading cause of cancer death in women.

"70,000 women a year die of lung cancer," says Rosenzweig. "That's more than deaths from breast, ovarian and cervical cancer combined. The deadliest woman's cancer is actually lung cancer." About 220,000 cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, and most people who develop lung cancer die of the disease.

About Muriel Lights Candle Designs

Muriel Lights is a labor of love and dedicated to my mother who is battling lung and stomach cancer. I have been making candles for over five year for family and friends. I have been home taking care of my mother for the last year and a half who in her illness was sharing a feeling of emptiness of what she perceive was a lack of accomplishments in her life time. Muriel Lights is my gift to her to bring awareness to Cancer especially for people of color who usually find out their diagnosis at the end stage of their cancer. My mom wanted to know what did she have to leave us her children. I wanted her to know my journey with her cancer was a lesson to be shared. Her Education as a Medical Assistant has taught her to trust her body signs more than Doctors words. Cancer is a disease and a enemy we must learn to fight better, know your choices and plan you own course of treatment. Muriel Lights is for the warriors who battle Cancer everyday and the families who stand by them proudly. Over time I will bring my candles to you I will be sharing health tips for Cancer awareness. Because of my motherS battle with cancer I no longer fear cancer I fear what I don't know about cancer and the knowledge that can buy me time. Muriel Lights will donate percentage of their profits to Health Education.
