| Question: | How serious is lung cancer? Can it be cured? |
| Answer: | Lung cancer is extremely serious. The majority of victims have been smokers, and this is the most serious consequence from many years of inhaling toxic fumes into the lungs.
Treatment may involve combinations of surgery, radiation and medication, but even in the best cancer centres, fewer than one in ten victims will survive. The best cure is prevention—everyone who smokes is taking this terrible gamble with their lives.
