TOP MEDICAL SPECIALTY OFFERED BY DR. JONG HO CHO Lung cancer treatment is Dr. Jong Ho Cho's primary area of medical expertise. Lung cancer develops in the cells of the lung. The lung is a spongy organ that functions as an exchange system. It exchanges the carbon dioxide in the body with oxygen.  Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. People who smoke significantly increase their risk of getting lung cancer. Quitting smoking can help reduce the risk of lung cancer. There are two types of lung cancer: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The symptoms of lung cancer are bloody coughs, pain during coughing, weight loss, difficulty breathing, and pressure on the chest.
