A quick 5-second test by analysing the patterns made by your fingers may help you discover early signs of lung cancer. Also known as 'diamond' finger test, this is perhaps the fastest way to determine the possibility of lung cancer. It is also known as the Schamroth window test or window gap test and can be easily performed at home.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer death. Often diagnosed at later stages, the leading causes of the disease include smoking; pollution, exposure to asbestos and radon, occupational substances, HIV and family history are among other key causes.
