Lung cancer is the uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells in your lungs. It is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. In India, lung cancer ranks as the most common cancer among men and the third most common among women, as per the latest data from ICMR. The biggest concern about lung cancer is that most of the cases are diagnosed only at advanced stages that are less responsive to treatments.
According to the World Health Organisation, smoking is the major cause of lung cancer, responsible for approximately 85% of all cases. The more cigarettes a person smokes and the longer the duration of smoking, the higher the risk of developing lung cancer.
However, lung cancer is also seen in non-smokers. Due to environmental or occupational factors, such as exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, radon gas, asbestos, etc, non-smokers can develop lung cancers.
Lung cancer usually does not display any symptoms in the initial stages. Hence, detecting lung cancer at an early stage can be challenging. Some of the common symptoms and signs to look out for are:
Detecting lung cancer after noticing a few worrisome symptoms starts with imaging tests of the lungs and some blood tests. Diagnostic tests for lung cancer typically involve imaging studies like chest X-rays, CT scans, or PET scans to identify suspicious areas in the lungs.
Additionally, a biopsy (tissue sample) may be taken for laboratory examination to confirm the presence of cancer cells and determine the type of lung cancer.
Common treatment options available for lung cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The choice of treatment depends on the cancer stage, its type, and the overall health of the patient.
Surgery aims to remove the tumor and nearby affected lymph nodes, but it may not be an effective option for cancer that has spread. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy kill or stop the growth of cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are some modern treatments that target cancer cells and boost the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
The first and foremost thing to do inorder to prevent lung cancer is to avoid exposure to known risk factors. This includes quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke. It’s also important to reduce exposure to air pollution and other environmental carcinogens, such as asbestos and radon.
Early detection through screening programs can help identify lung cancer at its initial stages, improving treatment outcomes and survival rates.
