The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells' need and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

Lung cancer is a chronic and medical condition characterized by abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue.

 The most common form of primary lung cancers is derived from epithelial cells. 

At the advanced stage, the lung cancer cell may suppress the nearby blood vessels and nerves leading to vomiting blood and localized severe pain accompanied by other general symptoms of cancer such as weight loss, reduce appetite.

In this stage, lung cancer also can travel a distance away to infect other healthy cells of tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.

The most common glands and organs of lung cancer metastases are the adrenal gland, bones, brain, and liver.

The exact cause of lung cancer is not identified. However, epidemiologically, smoking, second smoke, exposure to certain chemicals, family history, people who have lung disease and excessive drinking are some prevalent factors associated with lung cancer developing.

Smoking although it is a major cause of lung cancer, however, not all lung cancer patients with lung cancer are smokers. Nonsmokers' lung cancer may be caused by exposure to radon, secondhand smoke, air pollution, or other factors.

In Canada, according to the statistics, lung cancer is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Lung cancer accounts for 26.7% of all deaths from cancer and 6.5% of all mortality.

The 5-year survival rate for people with stage IB NSCLC is about 68%.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world.
The herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of lung diseases, scientists examined the effect of Taraxacum Officinale and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata lung cancer mice.

Selected mice induced lung cancer by intraperitoneally injected with urethane twice a week for consecutively five weeks, before receiving treatment of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Taraxaci Herba.

According to the tested differentiation, mice induced cancer exerted symptoms of chill, lazy, hunched, with a reduction in temperature, cyanosis in auricle and tail.

Furthermore, the energy metabolism and erythrocytic ATP enzymatic activity were also reduced, whereas their whole blood viscosity and erythrocytic aggregate index increased similar to those of lung cancer.

The dandelion application showed an effect on enhancing the above symptoms and signs but had no effect on tumor progression.

In other words, the dandelion extract has potent inhibitory activity against HIV-1 replication and reverse transcriptase activity to induce infection.

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of lung cancer symptoms, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
