We have separate information about cancer that starts in another part of the body and spreads to the lung, which is called secondary lung cancer.

 

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
