Lung Cancer Treatment

In Haryana

Lung cancer is a disease where abnormal cells grow in your lungs and form a tumor. The lungs are essential for breathing and supplying oxygen to your body. The condition often develops over time and might not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages. It is commonly linked to smoking, but other environmental and genetic factors might also play a role. As the disease progresses, it can affect your breathing and overall health. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are important for better outcomes.

Symptoms
Symptoms might include persistent cough, chest pain, or difficulty breathing. You might cough up blood or experience wheezing. Frequent infections, such as pneumonia, might also occur. Other symptoms include fatigue, weakness, and unexplained weight loss. Hoarseness and discomfort in the chest or shoulder area can be seen. These symptoms should not be ignored if they persist.

Causes
Lung cancer occurs due to mutation in the DNA of your lung cells, causing them to grow uncontrollably. Smoking is the leading cause, but exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, and harmful substances can also increase the risk. Family history and certain lung conditions might also contribute.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis includes imaging tests such as a chest X-ray or a PET scan to detect tumors. A biopsy confirms the presence of cancer. Additional tests help determine the stage and guide treatment options.

Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The treatments aim to remove or control cancer and improve breathing function.
