Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer






Lung Cancer Hospital in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad

Lung cancer is often silent in its early stages. A persistent cough, unexplained weight loss, breathlessness, chest pain, or blood in sputum should never be ignored. Early detection significantly improves survival and expands treatment options. Our management is structured, evidence-based, and tailored to disease biology, stage, and patient fitness. Care pathways follow contemporary international protocols with multidisciplinary review.

Lung Cancer is of different types

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - Subtypes are
Adenocarcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Large cell carcinoma
Small Cell Lung Cancer

More aggressive and rapidly growing, often requiring combined modality treatment. Precise histopathology and molecular profiling guide treatment selection.

Risk Factors

Active or passive smoking
Occupational exposure (asbestos, silica, heavy metals)
Air pollution
Radon exposure
Family history

Diagnostic Workup

Accurate staging determines prognosis and treatment strategy. Investigations may include:

Contrast-enhanced CT scan of chest
PET-CT for systemic staging
Bronchoscopy with biopsy
CT-guided needle biopsy
Molecular testing (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, PD-L1 and others when indicated)

Comprehensive molecular profiling is essential in advanced NSCLC to identify targeted therapy options.

Treatment Approach

Treatment depends on stage, molecular profile, and patient performance status.

  • For early-stage disease (Stage I–IIIA in selected cases). Lobectomy with lymph node dissection is the standard curative procedure.

Complex radiation planning is coordinated with centers equipped with advanced linear accelerators.

Outcomes 

Lung cancer survival has improved significantly over the past decade due to molecular testing and immunotherapy. The focus is not only on prolonging survival but also preserving quality of life.

FAQ’s

  • No. While smoking is the leading cause, a significant percentage of patients—especially adenocarcinoma cases—occur in non-smokers due to environmental exposure, genetic factors, or air pollution.
