How do lung cancer versus other benign illnesses differ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fatal: Lung cancer is fatal unless removed early, stage 1. Benign pulmonary pathology is not cancer but some of them may lead to fatal complications. Surgical resection for stage1 lung cancer is about 70% 5 year survival or cure.
