What Is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lungs. It is broadly classified into:

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) – Most common type

• Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) – More aggressive, fast-growing type

Early-stage lung cancer is often treatable, making timely evaluation critical.

Common Symptoms

• Persistent cough or change in cough pattern

• Shortness of breath

• Chest pain

• Coughing up blood

• Unexplained weight loss

• Fatigue and weakness

• Recurrent chest infections

If symptoms persist for more than 2–3 weeks, medical consultation is advised.

Causes & Risk Factors

• Smoking (active or passive)

• Exposure to air pollution or occupational toxins

• Family history of lung cancer

• Previous lung disease or radiation exposure

• Increasing age

Diagnosis & Staging of Lung Cancer

Accurate diagnosis helps determine the best treatment approach. Evaluation includes:

• Chest X-ray and CT scan

• PET-CT for staging

• Bronchoscopy or CT-guided biopsy

• Molecular and genetic testing

• Pulmonary function tests

A multidisciplinary tumor board reviews all findings to design a personalized plan.

Lung Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment depends on cancer type, stage, molecular profile, and overall health.

🗡️ Surgery for Lung Cancer

Surgery offers the best chance of cure in early-stage lung cancer.

• Lobectomy or Segmentectomy – Removal of part of the lung

• Minimally invasive (VATS / robotic) lung surgery where appropriate

• Lymph node dissection for accurate staging

💊 Chemotherapy

• Used before surgery (neoadjuvant) or after surgery (adjuvant)

• Primary treatment for advanced lung cancer

• Given with supportive care to reduce side effects

🎯 Targeted Therapy

• Acts on specific genetic mutations (EGFR, ALK, etc.)

• Fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy

• Suitable for selected patients based on molecular testing

🛡️ Immunotherapy

• Boosts the immune system to fight cancer

• Highly effective in many advanced lung cancers

• Often combined with chemotherapy for better outcomes

🌈 Palliative & Supportive Care

• Pain and symptom management

• Breathlessness relief and pulmonary rehabilitation

• Nutritional and psychological support

• Focus on comfort and dignity in advanced disease

Recovery & Follow-Up

• Recovery varies based on treatment type

• Regular scans and blood tests for monitoring

• Smoking cessation and lifestyle counseling

• Long-term follow-up to detect recurrence early
