About Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the most common and most deadly cancer among men and women in the United States. Each year lung cancer takes more lives than colon, breast, prostate and lymph cancer combined. Cancer.gov states: “…more than 222,000 new cases expected in the United States in 2010.”
About Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects the lining of the lungs, but can also affect the heart and abdomen. Approximately 2,000 to 3,000 cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed each year in the United States, which is approximately 3 percent of all cancer diagnoses. This cancer occurs about four times more frequently in men than in women. More than 30 percent of those diagnosed with mesothelioma are veterans. All forms of mesothelioma, except for benign mesothelioma, are terminal because there is no cure.
About Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that involves the lungs but may spread to other parts of the body. TB is caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and spreads via droplets expelled by the lungs while coughing or sneezing. Symptoms include coughing, expectorating blood and mucus, fever, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, breathing difficulty, wheezing and excessive sweating (especially at night). The people most at risk for contracting TB include infants, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems due to HIV or AIDS infection and people exposed to the disease.
