Statistics About Lung Cancer
Some people use statistics to try to know their chance of getting cancer. Or they use them to know the chance they can be cured. But statistics show what happens to large groups of people. Because no two people are alike, statistics can't be used to predict what will happen to a particular person.

Am I At Risk for Lung Cancer?
The American Cancer Society estimates that 87 percent of lung cancer cases are related to smoking. However, a small percentage of people who get lung cancer do not have a history of smoking or being around secondhand smoke. So, not all smokers get lung cancer and not all lung cancer patients were smokers.

Anatomy of the Lung
The lungs are part of your body's system for breathing, called the respiratory system. Your lungs are spongy organs shaped like cones. They're located in your chest. The left and right lungs are similar, but the right lung is a little bit bigger and has three sections, called lobes. The left lung has just two lobes.
