Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth, and lung cancer occurs when this uncontrolled cell growth begins in one or both lungs. [1]

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. [2]

Passive inhalation (”secondhand smoke”) is linked to lung cancer in nonsmokers. [3]

Since lung cancer tends to spread or metastasize very early after it forms, it is a very life-threatening cancer and one of the most difficult cancers to treat. [4]

Definition of lung cancer: Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. [5]

Rather than developing into healthy, normal lung tissue, these abnormal cells continue dividing and form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors. [1]

Tumors can be benign or malignant; when we speak of “cancer,” we are referring to those tumors that are malignant. [4]

Heavy smoking and starting smoking earlier in life increase the risk. [3]

The white area in the upper lobe is cancer; the black areas are discoloration due to smoking. [2]

It has been estimated that cigarette smokers have a ten-fold higher risk of lung cancer, in comparison with nonsmokers. [3]

Happy Anniversary to one of the great teen comedies of all time, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.’ [1]

“Ferris Bueller” actor Ben Stein is suing ad agency Seiter & Miller, along with Kyocera Corp, for cutting ties with Stein due to his beliefs about global warming. [2]

The film follows high school senior Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick), who decides to skip school and spend the day in downtown Chicago. [3]

Though based on the film, the series was not a continuation of the film, rather, the series was set up to portray itself as being the “real life” situations upon which the film was based. [4]

In honor of today’s 25-year milestone, our pals at Moviefone had a chat with Edie McClurg — who played the hit film’s hilarious school secretary Grace — about working with Matthew Broderick, Jeffrey Jones and the late John Hughes. [1]

Based on the popular feature film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," this half hour situation comedy followed the high school adventures of Ferris Bueller and his friends. [5]

In the pilot episode, Ferris (Schlatter) refers to the film and expresses his displeasure at Matthew Broderick portraying him, even going as far as destroying a life-size cardboard cutout of Broderick with a chainsaw. [4]

Ben and Frances Rose house will be for sale again after renovations. [6]

The lawsuit states that in February 2011, Grace Yao, of Seiter & Miller, contacted Stein’s agent, Marcia Hurwitz, informing her that there had been concerns raised over Stein’s beliefs about global warming and if they were “sufficiently conventional and politically correct for Kyocera.” [2]

When the movie came up, Matthew had a good reputation already, and he suggested Alan for the best friend role and it was perfect. [1]
