Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!
I noticed your edit to "Lung cancer". Statements in Wikipedia articles must be verifiable and therefore require references from reliable sources. Medical articles have another guideline in addition. The statement that you added did not include a reference. Therefore I have reverted it.
You may find WikiProject Medicine and its talk page of interest. Axl ¤ [Talk] 21:14, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Sjones008, you are invited to the Teahouse

References
editWe at Wikipedia love evidence-based medicine. Please cite high-quality reliable sources. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:46, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
"Show preview" button is our friend
editThank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. --Quisqualis (talk) 19:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
