Hi Antonija,

Cancer of the lung - It is used now and then to list the types of cancers related to the lung. In majority of the cases, it is written as lung cancer.

For example:

Cancer of the lung, like all cancers, results from an abnormality in the body's basic unit of life, the cell.

Regards,

Sri
