Lung Cancer
Lung Cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tissues of the lungs, most commonly in the lining of the air passages.
Early symptoms may include persistent cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Timely detection through imaging, biopsy, and staging helps in planning surgical, chemotherapeutic, and radiotherapeutic interventions to improve survival and quality of life.
Causes and Risk Factors of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer primarily develops due to environmental and genetic factors.
- Smoking: The leading cause of lung cancer worldwide.
- Exposure to secondhand smoke, radon, asbestos, and industrial chemicals
- Genetic predisposition: Family history and inherited mutations may increase risk.
Symptoms and Clinical Features of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer may remain asymptomatic initially. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent cough or coughing up blood
- Chest pain: Pain or discomfort in the chest or back
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, and fatigue
- Weight loss and recurrent respiratory infections
Treatment Options for Lung Cancer
Treatment depends on the type, stage, and patient’s overall health.
- Surgery: Lobectomy, segmentectomy, or pneumonectomy to remove tumors.
- Radiotherapy: Targeted radiation to control or shrink tumors.
- Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy for advanced disease.
