Lung Cancer Is the Most Commonly Diagnosed Cancer Among Men and Women

Monday October 3, 2005
It saddens me to know that the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer is one that can be prevented in most cases - lung cancer. Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer, and research suggests that it can cause and aggravate other cancers as well. Unfortunately, lung cancer is often found in later stages and it is difficult to treat. So, if you are a smoker, do your lungs a favor and kick the habit! Check out About's Quit Smoking site to get the much needed support and guidance from ex-smokers who have committed to quit!
