Over the years, lung cancer has increased in both women and men, especially because of tobacco. 20 to 25% of high school students already use it. Dr. John DeRosimo, Thoracic Surgeon with Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, explains how lung cancer started to rise in women after World War II.
Lung cancer does not cause any substantial symptoms until it is in its advanced stages. Dr. Mark Dylewski, Chief of Thoracic Oncology at Miami Cancer Institute, talks about its symptoms, such as chest pain, cough that does not go away, hoarseness, and trouble breathing.
