Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur Cancer Handbook

3 Lung Cancer

Lung cancer, often a silent adversary, begins in the lungs and is notorious for being the leading cause of cancer deaths in Malaysia. This aggressive disease typically starts in the cells lining the bronchi and parts of the lung, often going unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. It is a major cause of concern for Malaysians. One in 55 males and one in 135 females have this cancer. Early symptoms can be easily mistaken for common respiratory issues, including a persistent cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
