What If I Have a Spot on My Lung? Do I Have Cancer?

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers. About 170,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with lung cancer every year. More men than women get lung cancer. But, women are quickly catching up with men, and, in the future, this trend may be reversed. Most people who are diagnosed with lung cancer are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, or older. But, some younger people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even teenagers, have been diagnosed with lung cancer.
