Lung cancer is the one the leading causes of death among all malignancies. It is acknowledged that smoking is an important factor to develope this cancer. Usually, bronchogenic type lung cancer is common among smoking induced lung cancer, which can be diagnosed with conventional radiological examination (normal chest X-ray). However, it is suggested that lung cancer, located in the peripheral region is difficult to diagnose by normal chest x-ray. The another problematic issue is, sometime, this peripheral lung cancer is symptomless among patients. This type of lung cancer is diagnosed in the fatal stage. For early diagnosis, radiological examination, computed tomography (CT) is useful for the better treatment and prognosis.

In addition, this cancer mass in the pancreas is not vascularized (no vessel), which causes hampering of chemotherapeutic drugs to enter into cancer cells. The peculiar anatomical location of pancreas and size also makes it difficult to localize that lies deep to the abdomen between stomach and lumber vertebra. Therefore, even little irritation can enhance inflammation of this gland. So, it is important to provide early ‘screening’ prior to any fatality.
