Lung cancer symptoms are commonly not experienced until the disease had advanced, sometimes delaying diagnosis. The symptoms of lung cancer also mimic the symptoms of other benign illnesses.
Skin cancer can be dvided into three different types of cancer.

Basal Cell Carcinoma
Accounting for more than 75% of skin cancers diagnosed, basal cell carcinoma is the most commonly developed skin cancer.
These carcinomas are most commonly found on the face, neck, and hands. It is considered highly treatable and rarely spreads to other parts of the body.
Symptoms include a sore that oozes or bleeds, a redness area that is irritated, a yellow or white area that resembles a scar, and a pink pearly bump.

'Iran Preparing Graves for Its Enemies'
A senior Iranian commander on Sunday said his country would prepare 320,000 graves to accommodate its slain enemies in the event of an attack on the country. The remark was a veiled warning amid increasing tensions over Tehran's controversial nuclear activities.
The Mehr news agency quoted Gen. Mir-Faisal Bagherzadeh as saying the graves would be dug in Iran's border provinces, to provide for the burial of enemies in line with the Geneva Conventions.
"The burial of slain soldiers will be carried out decently and in little time," said Bagherzadeh, a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who heads a propaganda body called the Sacred Defense Foundation.
"We do not wish the families of enemy soldiers to experience what Americans had to go through in the aftermath of the Vietnam War," he added, apparently referring to the ordeal faced by families of MIAs during and after that conflict.
Although couched in humanitarian terms, Bagherzadeh's comments come as top Iranians step up belligerent rhetoric in the face of reports suggesting that Israel or the United States are planning to attack Iran, and specifically its nuclear facilities.
The head of the IRGC, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, at the weekend delivered stern warnings to Iran's enemies, telling the conservative Jam-e Jam newspaper that Israel was within easy range of Iran's missiles.
"Our missile power and capability are such that the Zionist regime -- despite all its abilities -- cannot confront it," he said.
Jafari told Iran's neighbors that they would also be held responsible if they allowed their soil to be used to launch attacks against Iran.
He warned that Iran could strike back at its foes through Hamas and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Sunni and Shi'ite terrorist groups in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon respectively.
"Revolutionary Muslims, whether Shi'ite or Sunni, see the U.S. and Israel attack against Islamic Iran as an attack on the Islamic world and thus defense will be on their mind without a doubt," Jafari was quoted as saying.
Other Iranian retaliation could come in the form of disruption to Gulf oil supplies, transported to world markets through the vulnerable Strait of Hormuz, he said.
"Naturally every country under attack by an enemy uses all its capacity and opportunities to confront the enemy. Regarding the main route for exiting energy, Iran will definitely act to impose control on the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz," Jafari said, adding that the price of oil would rise dramatically in such circumstances.

Congratulation For Spain!!
VIVA ESPANA! OLE! OLE! OLE!
Match-winner Fernando Torres said Spain deserved to win Euro 2008 because they played the best football.
Torres struck in the first half as Spain beat Germany 1-0 in Vienna to win their first major trophy for 44 years and Torres's first trophy of any kind.
The Liverpool striker said: "I feel a tremendous joy. It still hasn't sunk in what we've achieved with this victory.
"The team that played the best football at Euro 2008 won the title and we have a place in European football history."XAVI TOP EURO 2008 STAR
Spain midfielder Xavi has been named the best player at Euro 2008.
The 28-year-old Barcelona player, the heartbeat of Spain's midfield during the tournament, was voted the Castrol player of the tournament by a nine-strong panel of UEFA's technical experts.
There was no place for Cristiano Ronaldo in the 23-man squad of the tournament however.
The squad did include Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar, Michael Ballack and Jose Bosingwa from Chelsea, Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, Liverpool striker Fernando Torres, and Spurs-bound midfielder Luka Modric.
UEFA technical director Andy Roxburgh explained Ronaldo's absence was due to the fact Portugal did not progress further in the tournament.
Roxburgh said: This is entirely about the tournament and not about reputations or how well you started.
"Of course he was mentioned - and if Portugal had gone further, there's no argument he has been in this group because he's a fantastic player.
"He was in our Champions League all-star squad for the season, and the beginning of the tournament he threatened he was going to be in this one.
"But then it came abruptly to an end. When it comes to a squad of the tournament, those that go to semis and final dominate things like this."

Fuel Prices
"At the moment we have not decided to do that yet but we are still watching, Abdullah, who is also Finance Minister said.
"You know that oil price always fluctuates. We don't know if the oil prices will go up again," he told reporters after chairing the Sixth National SME Development Council meeting here.
Given that oil prices fluctuate, any decision based at the current level will be making it difficult for the government.
He said that since changing fuel prices was an important decision, "we cannot be hasty. It is good to keep on monitoring."
"Its better if the government monitors whether the trend is for prices to decline and will not rise again and then we can determine a certain level of if there is tendency for it to increase," he said.
Oil prices dropped below $50 a barrel on Thursday in New York for the first time since May 2005 after U.S. data showed a sharp increase in crude supply in the United States, the world's top oil consumer.
In contrast, oil prices skyrocketed to a record level of US$78.40 last July.
Malaysia raised fuel prices by 30 sen for petrol to RM1.92 a litre in March last year.
When pressed further if the government would consider bringing down the fuel price if prices fall further, he said: "Don't ask speculative questions. We will know what to do."
He said that the increase in fuel prices has impacted consumers, "but we will always take into account the welfare of the rakyat (people)."
UEFA EURO 2008 FINAL
Germany coach Joachim Low must decide whether to recall Torsten Frings for Sunday's Euro 2008 final against Spain.
The midfielder has declared himself fit after recovering from a broken rib and could replace Simon Rolfes (cut eye) in the only change to the side.
Spain will have to alter their line-up with striker David Villa ruled out with a thigh injury.
That could mean a start for Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas in a five-man midfield, with Fernando Torres the lone striker.
It was with that side and formation that Spain strolled past Russia 3-0 in Thursday's semi-final and coach Luis Aragones has hinted Fabregas, who set up two of the goals, could start.
"I know how well he can perform," Aragones said. "I like a player like Cesc, 20-years-old and someone who has acquired the experience of someone who's 27, 28. To us, he's important."
The Spanish are full of confidence ahead of the final, having turned themselves from "perennial underachievers" to many people's tip to win the final in the course of the tournament.
Spain may not have won a major honour since 1964 - their victory in that year's European Championship their only title to date - but Liverpool striker Torres believes the side are equipped to go all the way this year.
"This team is already making history, but we can do even more," he said.
However, Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff refutes claims his side are favourites, saying: "We have demonstrated what capabilities we possess, but we should put Spain one step above us.
"That said, this was the case against Portugal (in the quarter-final) as well and it doesn't have to be to our disadvantage."
And the former striker, whose 'golden goal' against the Czech Republic gave Germany the European title in 1996, hinted Low's side would set out to be hard to break down rather than expansive in attack.
"Spain control the ball very well and they provide decisive passes," he said. "We will have to play very tightly, double-team a lot and keep the marking close."
That philosophy was supported by Frings, who said: "We shouldn't let them into the game. We have to be aggressive, we have to step up even as they are receiving the ball.
"I don't think they like it when you are aggressive against them."
Joachim Low Said
But Alonso warned
"The best is yet to come and we need to finish off what we have done so far.
