📋Overview

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the tissues of the lung, primarily the cells lining the air passages. It is classified mainly into two broad categories: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and is strongly associated with tobacco smoking, though other factors also contribute.
