Overveiw
Pancoast tumor is a subtype of lung cancer localized to the lung apex. Effective measures for the primary prevention of lung cancer include smoking cessation and avoidance of second-hand smoking. Lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet rich with fruits and vegetables and regular exercise, might decrease the risk of developing cancer in general.
