Lung Cancer

定义：
Lung cancer, also known as pulmonary cancer, is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs. It is one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer worldwide. Lung cancer typically develops in the cells lining the lungs and can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. The two main types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
