Lung cancer
• Lung cancer can start in the wind pipe(trachea) ,the main airway (bronchus)or the lung tissue.
• lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that start off in one or both lungs; usually in the cells that line the air passages.
• There are various test has been taken for lung cancer at every stages to know how much it spread over the body and effected the lungs.

Imaging tests
• Imaging test is nothing but an x-ray .An X-ray of your lungs may reveal an abnormal mass or nodule.
• A CT scan can reveal small lesions in your lungs that might not be detected on an X-ray.
• Through the x-ray or CT scan we can identify the lung cancer for the person whether it is mild or severe.

Sputum cytology
• Sputum differs from saliva, in that it contains cells that line the respiratory passages.
• If you have a cough and are producing sputum, looking at the sputum under the microscope can sometimes reveal the presence of lung cancer cells.
• A sample of mucus or phlegm brought up by coughing is looked at under a microscope.
• It is one of the way to identify the lung cancer who has symptoms about it.

Tissue sample (biopsy).
• A Lung biopsy removes a small piece of lung tissue which can be looked at under a microscope.
• Biopsy can be done in four ways. This method used depends on where the sample will be taken from and your overall health.
• Bronchoscopic biopsy, needle biopsy, open biopsy, Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery .

Bronchoscopy
• A thin flexible tube with a tiny camera is inserted through the nose or mouth and down into the lungs.
• A bronchoscope also can be used to take a small tissue sample for biopsy.

Fine needle aspiration
• The skin is scrubbed clean and a local anesthetic is injected to numb the area where the biopsy needle will be inserted.
• A very small needle is placed into the tumor. Suction is used to remove a small amount of tissue, which is then looked at under a microscope.

Open biopsy
• An open biopsy is a way of checking the whole lump for cancerous cells, rather than just a part of it.
• An open biopsy uses surgery to make a cut (incision) between the ribs and remove a sample. of lung tissue

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery • The VATS approach allows the surgeon to access the problem
area by using an endoscope and other small endoscopic instruments and endostaplers.
• These small instruments can be inserted into the chest through small 2-4 cm incisions made between the ribs.
• The scope allows the surgeon to view, under high magnification, the cancerous lung tissue and manipulate the instruments to effectively transect and remove the tissue from the body
