Cancer can sit dormant in a person's lungs for decades, waiting to diversify and spread. The discovery sounds scary but could actually be key to reducing the disease's devastating toll, raising the possibility of early detection, screening and maybe even preventative treatment.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally, and one of the least researched. Since most people with lung cancer are only diagnosed after the disease has started spreading, less than a third survive for more than a year after diagnosis.
