Lung Cancer

Expert Care by Dr. Divyesh Pathak

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally, affecting both smokers and non-smokers. Early detection and personalized treatment are critical in improving survival rates. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center , Dr. Divyesh Pathak and our specialized team provide state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment options, offering hope and care to lung cancer patients.

Types of Lung Cancer:

  1. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC):
    • The most common type, accounting for about 85% of cases, including:
      • Adenocarcinoma: Often found in smokers and non-smokers, this cancer originates in the outer regions of the lungs.
      • Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Begins in the flat cells lining the airways of the lungs, usually associated with smoking.
      • Large Cell Carcinoma: A fast-growing cancer that can occur in any part of the lung.
  2. Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC):
    • A more aggressive type that typically spreads quickly to other parts of the body. It is strongly linked to smoking and requires prompt and intensive treatment.
  3. Other Rare Types:
    • Includes mesothelioma, caused by asbestos exposure, and lung carcinoid tumors, which are slow-growing.

Signs & Symptoms of Lung Cancer:

Comprehensive Treatment Options:

At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, we offer a full range of treatment options for lung cancer based on the stage, type, and overall health of the patient. These options include:

  1. Surgical Treatment:
    • Lobectomy: Removal of one lobe of the lung containing cancer.
    • Pneumonectomy: Complete removal of one lung if cancer is widespread.
    • Segmentectomy or Wedge Resection: Removal of a smaller portion of the lung, often for early-stage cancers.
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery (VATS): Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery that reduces recovery time and pain.
  2. Radiation Therapy:
    • High-energy beams are used to target and destroy cancer cells. This can be the primary treatment for those unable to undergo surgery or as a follow-up after surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells.
  3. Chemotherapy:
    • Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill cancer cells throughout the body. It is often used in combination with other treatments like surgery or radiation, particularly for advanced lung cancer.
  4. Targeted Therapy:
    • For certain types of NSCLC, drugs that target specific mutations (such as EGFR or ALK) can help slow cancer growth or shrink tumors.
  5. Immunotherapy:
    • This treatment helps the body’s immune system recognize and attack lung cancer cells. It is especially useful for advanced lung cancer that has not responded to other treatments.
  6. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA):
    • A minimally invasive procedure where heat generated by radiofrequency energy is used to destroy cancerous tissue.

Diagnosis of Lung Cancer:

At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure an accurate diagnosis and develop the best treatment plan. Our diagnostic process includes:

  • Chest X-ray: Often the first test to detect any abnormalities in the lungs.
  • CT Scan or MRI: Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the lungs, helping to locate tumors and assess their size and spread.
  • PET Scan: Helps in detecting cancerous activity throughout the body, especially for determining the extent of cancer spread.
  • Bronchoscopy: A flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the airways to examine the lungs and take tissue samples for biopsy.
  • Biopsy: Tissue samples are collected and analyzed to confirm cancer type and stage.
  • Sputum Cytology: Examination of mucus from the lungs to detect cancer cells.
