  2. What is Lung Cancer Cancer which begins in the lung is called primary Lung Cancer. Lungs are two spongy organs inside chest which take in oxygen while inhaling and release carbon dioxide during exhalation. Uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs, typically in cells lining the air passages divide rapidly & form tumors. As these tumors become large & numerous, they also undermine lung capacity to provide oxygen to the blood stream. These tumors however, can be benign or malignant. Tumors which remain in a single place and do not spread are called ‘Benign Tumors’. Malignant Tumors are dangerous and spread to other parts of the body through lymphatic system or the blood stream. When metastasis occurs, cancer is much harder to treat.
