Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It's also one of the more common forms of cancer; there are more than 200,000 new cases each year.

While lung cancer can affect anyone regardless of age, race or gender, the most common symptoms include coughing up blood or mucus, chest pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and shortness of breath. Women may experience other symptoms including fatigue and fever that doesn't necessarily indicate something serious like lung cancer.

If you have any questions about your health, do consult a doctor first before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine.
