Abstract/Summary

Cancer is a disease that develops when the body's cells expand unchecked. Lung cancer is a general term for cancer that first appears in the lungs. The most common cancer that is lethal is lung cancer. Lung cancer is the commonly diagnosed cancer diagnosed between both female and male in the US, only behind certain forms of skin cancer. Lung cancer is most often caused by smoking. Additionally, smoking other tobacco products (including pipes or cigars), breathing secondhand smoke, being linked to radon or radon at work or home, and lung cancer risk may be increased by having a history of the disease in your family. Furthermore, new developments in genome editing technology have dramatically increased the possibility of curing cancer at its origin. This article discusses potential gene editing methods for treating lung cancer and systematically identifies the locations of common gene changes in the condition.
