What is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is a type of disease caused by the uncontrolled division of cells in the lungs. 

Lung cancer generally starts in the airways (bronchi or bronchioles) or small air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.

In India, lung cancer is more commonly seen in men than women. The early signs and symptoms of lung cancer may be subtle, but the sooner the condition is diagnosed, the better will be the chances of successful treatment.

What Are the Different Types of Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is generally of two main types, including the following:

1. Non-small cell lung cancer 

It is the most common type of lung cancer and accounts for more than 80% of lung cancer cases. Depending on the cells affected, the common types associated with this type of cancer include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and sarcomatoid carcinoma.

2. Small cell lung cancer 

This type of cancer grows faster and is harder to treat compared to non-small cell lung cancer. It is usually found as a tiny lung tumour that has already spread to other parts of the body. The specific types of small cell lung cancer include small cell carcinoma/oat cell carcinoma and combined small cell carcinoma.

What Are the Different Stages of Lung

Lung cancer is staged depending on the size of the initial tumour, how far it has affected the surrounding tissue, and whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other body organs.

The different stages of lung cancer are as follows:

  • Stage 0 or in-situ stage: Cancer affects the top lining of the lung or the bronchus. The cancer has not spread to the other parts of the lung or outside the lung.
  • Stage I: Cancer has not spread outside the lung.
  • Stage II: The tumor is larger in size than Stage I cancer, has spread to the lymph nodes inside the lung, or more than one tumor is present in the same lobe of the lung.
  • Stage III: The tumor is larger in size than Stage II cancer, has spread to the adjacent lymph nodes or structures, or there is more than one tumor present in a different lobe of the same lung.
  • Stage IV: Cancer has started spreading to the other lung, the fluid surrounding the lung, and the fluid surrounding the heart or other distant organs.

At Arpit Medi World, you will be offered an appropriate lung cancer treatment plan based on the type and stage of your cancer by our experienced and skilled lung cancer specialist in Jaipur.

What Are the Causes and Risk Factors for Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer develops when certain cells in the lungs keep dividing too many times or undergo too many changes, known as mutations. Although anyone can develop lung cancer, some common factors that increase the risk of developing this condition include:

  • Smoking or use of other tobacco products
  • Exposure to secondhand smoke
  • Air pollution
  • Exposure to harmful substances, such as asbestos, radon, uranium, silica, coal products, diesel products, etc.
  • History of radiation therapy
  • Family history of lung cancer

What Are the Symptoms of Lung Cancer?

The symptoms associated with lung cancer in the early stages are similar to less serious illnesses, such as respiratory infections. Many people may not even have symptoms until the condition reaches its advanced stages. 

The common symptoms that may be seen in case of lung cancer include:

  • Cough that does not go away or gets worse with time
  • Recurrent cough or pneumonia
  • Problems in breathing
  • Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
  • Wheezing
  • Chest discomfort or chest pain
  • Coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
  • Hoarseness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Unexplained loss of weight
  • Fatigue
  • Shoulder pain
  • Horner’s syndrome (drooping eyelid and small pupil in one eye with less or no sweating on that side of the face) 
  • Superior vena cava syndrome (swelling in the face, upper chest, neck, or arms)

How is Lung Cancer Diagnosed?

A few diagnostic tests may be recommended by the doctor to confirm the diagnosis of lung cancer. These tests include:

  • Imaging tests: Tests like chest X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and PET scans can help detect abnormal masses in the lungs.
  • Sputum cytology: A microscopic examination of the thick mucus produced by coughing can help detect the presence of cancer cells. 
  • Bronchoscopy: A tube with a light on one end is passed down the throat and into the lungs to have a closer look at the lung tissue.
  • Thoracentesis: In case of the presence of fluid in the lungs, this procedure is done to remove some amount of fluid and check if the cancer has spread the linings of the lungs.
  • Biopsy: This procedure involves the removal of a small lung tissue sample, which will then be examined under a microscope to check if the tumor cells are cancerous.

How is Lung Cancer Treated?

The treatment offered for lung cancer will vary depending on the type and stage of cancer present, the tumor location, and the general health of the patient. 

The different treatment options offered for lung cancer treatment in Jaipur at Arpit Medi World include the following:

1. Surgery

The cancerous lung tissue and the surrounding tissue affected by cancer are surgically removed by the surgeon. The various surgical procedures that may be performed to remove lung cancer include:

  • Wedge resection: It involves the removal of a small section of the lung containing the cancer along with a margin of the healthy tissue.
  • Segmental resection: It involves the removal of a large part of the cancer-affected lung.
  • Lobectomy: An entire lobe of one lung is removed in this procedure. 
  • Pneumonectomy: It is the surgical removal of an entire lung.

2. Chemotherapy

This treatment involves the use of a combination of medications that help shrink or kill the cancer cells.

Chemotherapy may be provided before or after surgery, or in combination with other medications, such as immunotherapy. The chemotherapy medications for lung cancer are usually given intravenously.

3. Radiation therapy

The procedure involves the use of high-powered energy beams to kill the cancer cells. Radiation therapy may also be used to shrink a tumor before removing it surgically.

This type of treatment is usually recommended for cancers that are present in one place and have not spread.

4. Targeted therapy

This procedure involves the use of certain medications that specifically target certain chemicals in the cancer cells. This allows the death of the cancer cells by the blockage of these chemicals.

In the case of lung cancer, targeted drug therapy is usually used for patients with cancer that has spread or cancer that recurs after treatment.

5. Immunotherapy

This type of cancer treatment involves the use of medications that help the immune system of the body to kill the cancer cells.

The body’s immune system helps fight off diseases by attacking the germs and cells that should not be in the body. The cancer cells can survive by hiding from the body’s immune system. Immunotherapy enables finding the immune system cells and killing the cancer cells.

In the case of lung cancer, immunotherapy can be used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that may be remaining. Immunotherapy can also help control the cancer in cases where surgery is not possible.
