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:
- 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.
- The most common type, accounting for about 85% of cases, including:
- 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.
- Other Rare Types:
- Includes mesothelioma, caused by asbestos exposure, and lung carcinoid tumors, which are slow-growing.
Signs & Symptoms of Lung Cancer:
- Persistent cough or coughing up blood
- Shortness of breath
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Hoarseness or difficulty swallowing
- Recurring respiratory infections like pneumonia or bronchitis
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
