Anthracic carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that originates from the lungs. It often develops in individuals who have been exposed to large amounts of anthracite coal dust, which is commonly found in coal mines. The condition is also known as pulmonary anthracosis and coal dust cancer. Other synonyms include black lung disease, anthracosilicosis, and anthracotic lung disease. Symptoms of anthracic carcinoma include coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Treatment typically involves surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Prognosis for this type of cancer is poor, and prevention through proper workplace safety measures is crucial.
