Lung Cancer Treatment
Lung cancer treatment varies based on the type and stage of cancer, tumor location, and the patient's overall health. Primary treatment options include surgery (such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Early-stage lung cancer may be treated effectively with surgery, while advanced stages often require a combination of systemic therapies and localized treatments.
Lung Resection - It involves the removal of the tumor and a portion of healthy lung tissue through procedures like Lobectomy / Segmentectomy / Pneumectomy / Wedge Resection / Sleeve Resection.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) - A minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and a camera, often for early-stage lung cancer.
Robot-Assisted Thoracic Surgery - A minimally invasive surgery using robotic systems for more precision, often used for complex lung cancer surgeries.
Chemotherapy - It uses drugs administered orally or intravenously to kill cancer cells throughout the body.
Targeted Therapy - It involves drugs that specifically target certain mutations in lung cancer cells.
Immunotherapy - It enhances the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Radiation Therapy - It uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors.
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) - A precise, high-dose radiation treatment for small lung tumors.
Diagnosis of lung cancer involves several tests, including imaging studies (chest X-ray, CT scan, PET scan), sputum cytology, bronchoscopy, and biopsy. These assessments help determine the presence, type, and extent of the cancer, which are crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
