In general ,when lung cancer symptoms should appear? are they need years or months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear question: Lung cancer takes years to develop from the time of initial insult. The insult may be smoking, asbestos exposure or radiation. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
