Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer-NSCLC
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the majority of lung cancers and arises from lung epithelial cells.
Early symptoms may include persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and unexplained weight loss. Diagnosis involves imaging, biopsy, and molecular testing. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy depending on stage and patient health.
Causes and Risk Factors of NSCLC
NSCLC development is influenced by environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors.
- Smoking: Primary risk factor for most cases
- Exposure to air pollutants, asbestos, and radon
- Genetic predisposition and family history of lung cancer
Symptoms and Clinical Features
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent cough and sputum production
- Chest discomfort: Pain or tightness in the chest
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, or recurrent infections
- Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
Treatment Options for NSCLC
Treatment depends on tumor stage, size, and patient condition.
- Surgery: Lobectomy or segmentectomy for localized tumors
- Chemotherapy and radiotherapy for advanced disease
- Targeted therapy: For tumors with specific genetic mutations
- Immunotherapy to enhance anti-cancer immune response
