Understanding Lung Cancer
Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer remains one of the serious and widespread forms of cancer globally. It is caused by uncontrolled cell division in the lungs, causing masses or tumors of tissue that will eventually keep the lungs from working properly.
It usually starts in the lungs, particularly in the airways or small air sacs and may spread to other parts of the body without treatment.
Causes And Risk Factors of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is caused due to genetic damage to the DNA in the cells in the airways. It is primarily caused by smoking as the cigarette smoke contains cancer-causing carcinogens, which, when inhaled, may cause changes in the lung tissue.
The other risk factors for lung cancer include
- Exposure to secondhand smoke: Regular exposure may significantly increase the risk, even in non-smokers.
- Previous radiation therapy: Exposure to radiation from previous treatment may increase the risk of lung cancer.
- Exposure to radon gas: Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that may accumulate in homes.
- Exposure to cancer-causing substances: Long-term exposure to substances, including asbestos, arsenic, silica, coal products, or diesel, may increase the risk.
- Family history of lung cancer: Family history or inherited genetic mutations may play a role, especially among non-smokers.
Types of Lung Cancer
Types of Lung Cancer
The two primary types of lung cancer include
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): NSCLC is a common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of the cases. It includes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
- Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): SCLC is a fast-growing cancer type which is less common but tends to spread quickly. It is harder to treat than NSCLC.
The other types of cancer that may start in or around the lungs include lymphomas, sarcomas, and pleural mesothelioma.
Stages Of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer can be staged depending on the size of the initial tumor, how far it has spread into the surrounding tissues, and lymph nodes or other organs.
The general staging for lung cancer includes
- Stage 0: Cancer is in the top lining of the lung or bronchi.
- Stage I: Cancer is confined to the lung.
- Stage II: Cancer has spread to lymph nodes inside the lung, or there is more than one tumor in the same lobe of the lung.
- Stage III: Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, or there is more than one tumor in different lobes of the same lung.
- Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant organs.
Small-cell lung cancer can also be staged into
- Limited stage: Cancer is confined to one lung and sometimes to nearby lymph nodes.
- Extensive stage: Cancer has spread to the other lung or distant organs.
Symptoms of Lung Cancer
Symptoms of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer typically does not show symptoms early on and usually happens when the disease is advanced.
The signs and symptoms of lung cancer that may occur include
- Persistent cough that doesn’t go away or gets worse over time
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Coughing up blood
- Hoarseness
- Troubled breathing or shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Lung infections that keep coming back
- Headache
- Bone pain
- Losing weight
- Loss of appetite
- Swelling in the face, arms, neck, or upper chest
- Shoulder pain
Complications of Lung Cancer
The complications of lung cancer include
- Shortness of breath
- Coughing up blood
- Pain
- Fluid in the chest
- Cancer spreads to other parts of the body, causing pain and nausea, headaches, and other symptoms.
Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer
Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer
At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our expert pulmonology team is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to detect and assess lung cancer with precision and care. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures every patient receives personalized attention and a thorough evaluation.
The diagnosis for lung cancer involves:
- Imaging tests: Imaging tests, including X-ray, MRI, CT, and positron emission tomography, may show the location and size of the lung cancer.
- Sputum cytology: Sputum may be examined under a microscope, which may show lung cancer cells.
- Bronchoscopy: A flexible tube, called a bronchoscope, is inserted into the lungs to view the airways and collect tissue samples.
- Biopsy: Tissue samples are taken from the lungs or lymph nodes to confirm the diagnosis and type of cancer.
- Pulmonary function tests: They help to assess lung performance before surgery or treatment.
- Molecular testing: It helps identify genetic mutations that may guide targeted therapy.
Treatment For Lung Cancer at SGVP Holistic Hospital in Ahmedabad
At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our expert team of pulmonologists, oncologists, and thoracic surgeons provides a comprehensive, patient-centric care for individuals diagnosed with lung cancer. The treatment options are tailored depending on the type, stage of cancer, and overall health of the patients.
Our pulmonologists will begin a thorough evaluation, including imaging, biopsy, and lung function tests and decide on the treatment option. Surgery is often used in the early stages of lung cancer if the tumor has not spread to other areas of the body.
The different treatment options for lung cancer include
- Surgery: Our surgeon may remove the lung cancer and some healthy tissue around it. It includes:
- Wedge resection: It involves removing a small section of the lung that contains the cancer, along with a little healthy tissue.
- Segmental resection: It involves the removal of a larger portion of the lung.
- Lobectomy: It involves the removal of the entire lobe of one lung.
- Pneumonectomy: It involves the removal of an entire lung.
- Radiation therapy: It involves the use of high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It is often combined with chemotherapy or used when surgery is not an option.
- Chemotherapy: It uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be used before surgery, after surgery, or as a primary treatment.
- Targeted therapy: It uses medicines that attack specific chemicals in the cancer cells.
- Immunotherapy: It involves the use of medications to help the body’s immune system kill cancer cells.
- Palliative care: It involves focusing on relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life of lung cancer patients.
