Severe Asthma and Lung Cancer: What’s the Link? #shorts

Did you know that cutting-edge research is highlighting the link between heavily symptomatic asthma and lung cancer?

About 25 million Americans have asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that makes the inner lining of your lungs swell. Between 5% and 10% of Americans with the disease have severe asthma. Severe asthma is categorized by needing medium- to high-dose corticosteroids and other long-acting drugs. Often, these drugs won’t control asthma symptoms, which people with asthma have every night and most days of the week.

The inflammation that is caused by asthma triggers attacks when patients breathe in allergens like pollen, dust, or pollutants. #lungcancer #lunghealth #asthma #cancerresearch #asthmatreatment #webmd #shorts
