Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain lung cancer in general terms, point to screening, specialist care, stop-smoking and support services, without diagnosis or treatment advice.

Cancer that begins in the lungs, mainly non-small cell and small cell lung cancer, strongly linked to smoking and also to radon, air pollution and occupational exposures; treatment and outlook depend on type and stage and are decided by specialist teams.

What it is for: A serious health topic requiring accurate information and support.

It can be explain lung cancer types in general terms; find screening programmes where offered; find stop-smoking and radon information; find patient and carer support.

Distinguishing features

Cancer starting in the lung

Strong link to smoking

Screening in some countries

Specialist multidisciplinary care

What it looks like

Symptoms may include persistent cough, coughing blood, breathlessness and weight loss; diagnosis needs medical tests.
