Researchers are not sure why nonsmokers develop lung cancer, but nearly 60 percent of people with the disease had already stopped smoking when they were diagnosed, and a substantial number had never smoked at all. This program describes the first symptoms of lung cancer and diagnostic techniques that can make early detection-and hence higher cure rates-easier. With input from three cancer patients and expert commentary from Dr. Mark Kris of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, viewers also learn how the array of treatment options currently available makes reaching and even surpassing the five-year survival mark more of a reality.
