One of the dangers of lung cancer is that it may metastasize and spread to other
parts of the body. Below is graphical lung cancer picture of
the spreading of lung cancer to the brain.

| Lung Cancer X Ray |
Lung
Cancer shows itself as a shadow caused by the tumor as marked
by a "Ca". However, the development of shadowing on the lung cancer on the X ray lags
behind formation of the cancer and a lesion has to be over
a centimetre in diameter before it can be recognised. Thus
a negative chest X-ray does not exclude cancer. Often an MRI
will have to be done to obtain a definitive diagnosis.
