Lung cancer happens when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lungs, potentially spreading to other parts of the body. There are different types of lung cancer, but the most common is non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounting for 80–85% of cases.
The second most common is small cell lung cancer (SCLC), making up 15–20% of cases. Other rarer lung tumours include lung carcinoid tumours, adenoid cystic carcinomas, lymphomas, and sarcomas.
In Malaysia, lung cancer is the third most common cancer after breast and colorectal cancers, affecting both men and women. Over 90% of lung cancer cases were diagnosed at late stages, when treatment options are more complex and costly. Early detection is key to improving survival rates and reducing treatment expenses.
The most effective tool for early lung cancer detection is the Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) scan. This non-invasive imaging method uses a low dose of radiation to produce high-resolution images of the lungs, helping to identify lung nodules or cancer in its early stages.
LDCT screening is highly recommended for high-risk individuals with no symptoms, including
If you are at risk, you are encouraged to get checked for early detection and ensure timely treatment.
