NSCLC commonly offers more treatment options; however, both types have been known to be treated by radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, or palliative. It is also possible that a few forms of treatment may be used. Your healthcare team will create this treatment plan personally for you.

80% of lung cancers are attributed to smoking to***co, and while the specific risk
of smoking e-ci******es or ma*****na is still uncertain, it is a fact that the longer you smoke and the amount that you smoke makes your risk much larger.
Do you know your risk for lung cancer? On the last of , we take a look at factors other than smoking.
❌ Myth: "Smoking ci******es is the only way to get lung cancer."
✅ Truth: There are numerous factors that put you at risk for lung cancer other than smoking including air pollution and exposure to gases and chemicals like asbestos or radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and the first for non-smokers.
The negative effects of smoking go beyond just the smoker themselves. Inhaling smoke from other's to***co can cause immediate harm, even just brief exposure. Secondhand smoke heightens your risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, reproductive issues for women, and cancers including lung, head and neck, breast, and more. Secondhand smoke's harmful risk is due to the more than 7,000 chemicals that commercial to***co contains, including about 70 toxic chemicals that can cause cancer.
Completely eliminating smoking is the only way to protect people who don’t smoke from secondhand smoke. For more information on reducing your risk, follow the link here: https://pendletoncancer.com/lung-cancer-awareness

A lung cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. Asking questions to try and understand what kind of lung cancer you have, where it is, what your treatment plan is, and what your prognosis is can be a lot all at once.
We have gathered 22 questions for you to bring to your healthcare team that will help give you a better understanding of your lung cancer diagnosis.
There are many myths about smoking associated with . This , we tackle a myth that comes after a lung cancer diagnosis.
❌ Myth: "Since I already have lung cancer, I might as well keep smoking."
✅ Truth: Studies show that quitting smoking has been associated with a 25% reduction in patients' mortality rate, specifically with NSCLC. It has also shown to keep cancer from spreading or getting worse. As for those who have survived lung cancer, continuing to smoke increases your risk for the cancer returning.
When we think about the main risk factor for lung cancer, smoking is the first to come to mind. Yes, 80% of lung cancer is thought of as a result of smoking; but what else increases a person's risk? There are risk factors that you can change, risks that you can't change, and risks that still hold uncertainty.
Risk factors that you can change include secondhand smoke and radon exposure, risk factors that you can't change includes air pollution, which accounts for 5% of lung cancer deaths, and there is still uncertainty surrounding ma*****na and e-ci******es risk.
Most lung cancers are found due to symptoms a patient is experiencing, though attributing symptoms to other causes often leads to a delayed diagnosis. Many symptoms do not appear until lung cancer is already at an advanced stage, making it very important for regular screening.
Despite the often very serious prognosis given to those with lung cancer, some people with earlier-state cancers are cured and those who catch it earlier have a much higher chance of treatment with success.
Consult with your healthcare professional if you experience any of these symptoms. Call Eastern Oregon Cancer Center at 541-304-2264 with any further questions and visit the link here: https://pendletoncancer.com/lung-cancer-awareness/

Happy Monday! Let's tackle another for …
❌ Myth: "People under 60 don't get lung cancer."
✅ Truth: While your risk increases after the age of 45 and the average age for a lung cancer diagnosis is 70, anyone with lungs can get lung cancer including people under the age of 60. Statistics show that around 7.2% of all lung cancers are people ages 20-54 and about 22% of lung cancer cases are people aged 55-64. Lung cancer cases are increasing in young adults.
