The right lung is bigger than the left, which shares space in the chest with the heart. The lungs together weigh approximately 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb), and the right is heavier. Can I live with one lung? In general, you need at least one lung to live. This is not a routine procedure and one cannot live long without both lungs.
Most often, a lung neoplasm will turn out to be cancerous rather than benign, as around a third of lumps found in the lungs are malignant. As well as tumors, lumps in the lungs may be caused by infections such as tuberculosis, cysts and abscesses. The treatment of a cancerous lung tumor depends on how far the cancer has progressed.
Lung cancer is a multifactorial malignancy for which some risk factors, such as chronic lung diseases, their interactions with smoking, and how they differ by race and sex, are not fully understood.

Non-small cell cancer includes squamous cell carcinoma (also called epidermoid carcinoma), large cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma. Codes for lung cancer are categorized by morphology, site, and laterality (except C34.2 Malignant neoplasm of middle lobe, brounchus or lung because only the right lung has a middle lobe ).
