A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Lung cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled cell division in your lungs with cancers that usually start in the bronchioles or alveoli of your lungs. When the cells divide to this extent, they cause tissue to mass and become tumors. The tumors then remain in the lungs and gradually start to make the organs fail or spread outside the lungs into other organs of the body (metastasize). Lung cancer is the 3rd most common type of lung cancer in North America.
