Review of Part 1
• The lungs help the body get the air it needs to live.
• The lungs are made of many small airways and sacs.
• Lung cancer often starts in the cells that line the airways.
• Cancer cells form a tumor since they don’t die as they should.
• Cancer cells can spread to other body parts through lymph or blood.
