Several organizations and hundreds of physical trainers are trying for years to diagnose and cure cancer. Thanks to research, cancer survival rates in the UK have improved since the 1970s. One in two people diagnosed with cancer can now expect to survive for 10 years or more after their diagnosis. But in the twentieth century, the infectious rate of people infected with lung cancer is greater than the cure rate (Choi et al., 2019). Several factors are responsible for it including people’s negligence towards the disease state. Ignorance of early symptoms and not a recommendation of tests at the first hospital tour by a physician can make the healing process more severe. Lack of proper counseling contributes people to remain unaware of the harmful effects of smoking and other drugs affecting the lungs and resulting in cancer.

Medical concerns are also not equally distributed as there has been more progress made in some cancers than others. Breast and cervical cancers are more attention. The non-serious attitude of people towards hygienic measures, insufficient funding resources, and lack of proper training of nurses has made lung cancer an emerging disease. Researchers are hoping to decrease the incident rates and to wipe up completely this dangerous disease. Despite research efforts, lung cancer survival rates have remained stubbornly low – fewer than 8% of people in the UK survive for 5 years after their diagnosis. That’s why there is a need for revised policies and more funding resources to find the infectious proteins and nerve cells that influence lung cancer (Barta et al., 2019).

Review analysis tells that the main cause of lung cancer is an unhygienic environment and lots of smoking (Zhu et al., 2018). However, some genetic factors i.e. chromosomal non-disjunctions and DNA mutations are also contributing to it. At present lung cancer is treated by chemotherapies which include harmful radiation that can also healthy cells along with cancerous cells. This results in the patient’s loss of immunity and physical weakness including loss of hair. Moreover, the main factor in lung cancer is an unhealthy environment and a smoker’s company. Researches tell us that people who smoke are less likely to have lung cancer than those who live in the company of smokers because cigarette filters are present to prevent harmful air to reach to lungs but people in the surrounding area inhaling directly contaminated air (Zhu et al., 2018).
