Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the lungs, usually in the cells lining the air passages. It is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with two primary types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Early detection and advancements in treatment options have become crucial in addressing this significant health concern.
Guru Cancer Center, renowned for its excellence in oncology, is a leading institution in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. With a specialized team of pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, and oncologists, Guru Cancer Center offers comprehensive care using advanced diagnostic techniques and innovative treatment modalities.

Symptoms

  • Persistent cough, especially if accompanied by blood.
  • Shortness of breath or wheezing.
  • Chest pain may worsen with deep breathing or coughing.
  • Unexplained weight loss and fatigue.
  • Recurrent respiratory infections.
Early detection is critical, and individuals with a history of smoking or exposure to environmental toxins should undergo regular screenings such as low-dose CT scans.

Treatments

These treatments are often used in combination, tailored to the individual’s specific type and stage of lung cancer, highlighting the multidisciplinary approach employed at Guru Cancer Center for optimal patient care.

Surgery: Wedge Resection to Pneumonectomy: Depending on the size and location of the tumor, surgical options include removing a small portion of the lung (wedge resection) to the entire lung (pneumonectomy).

Chemotherapy: Administering potent drugs to target and eliminate rapidly dividing cancer cells, often utilized before or after surgery to enhance effectiveness.

Radiation Therapy: Utilizing high-energy rays to precisely target and destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors, a standalone treatment or combined with surgery and chemotherapy.

Immunotherapy: Stimulating the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, particularly beneficial for specific types of lung cancer.

Targeted Therapies: Employing medications that specifically target genetic mutations or abnormal proteins involved in the growth of cancer cells, offering a more focused and less toxic approach.

Guru Cancer Center’s commitment to lung cancer care reflects its dedication to providing advanced and personalized treatment options.
