INTRODUCTION

A. Background of Study

Once, not too long ago, people had to wait months to communicate with their families and friends. Families immigrated to the "new world" by boat, and made the treacherous journey over a period of weeks, even months! Now it takes little more than a flight delay, or traffic accident to cause tremendous stress and irritability. Every day, millions of Americans take the wonderful advances in technology for granted. What people had to do, or the way things were, are just not important anymore. Americans now have dozens of ways to instantly get in touch with anyone they know anywhere in the world. There is no more waiting. In no more than a few seconds anyone can be served a hot, steamy, fat-filled meal. The majority of society revolves around services, rather than manufacturing, or farming. Most of the modernization has come to fruition because of dozens of technologies that, a few short years ago, were only figments of the imagination. No one would have imagined that millions and millions of colored moving pictures would be able to tell stories over and over again, or that a song would represent a best friend trying to get in touch with you from across the

Most cancers that start in the lung, known as primary cancers, are carcinomas that derive from epithelial cells. The main types of lung cancer are small-cell lung carcinoma, also called oat cell cancer, and non-small-cell carcinoma. The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke, which causes 80-90% of lung cancers. Nonsmokers account for 10-15% of lung cancer cases, and these cases are often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution including secondhand smoke.

    Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality not only in the United States but also around the world (Humam Kadara,Mohamed Kabbout,&Ignacio Wistuba ,2011). Lung adenocarcinomas are a major subtype of non-small-cell lung cancers, are increasing in incidence globally in both males and females and in smokers and non-smokers, and are the cause for almost 50% of deaths attributable to lung cancer and the high mortality of this disease is in part due to the late diagnosis of the majority of lung cancers after regional or distant spread of the malignancy (Humam Kadara,Mohamed Kabbout,&Ignacio Wistuba 2011). Joseph E.Tota (2013) stated that by far, the most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking data from screening trials have shown that the risk of death from lung cancer can be reduced by approximately 20% when CT screening is applied to higher-risk patients (J.G.
