What Is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably within the lungs. It is broadly classified into:
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC):
The most common type, accounting for the majority of lung cancer cases. - Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC):
A more aggressive form that tends to spread rapidly.
Common risk factors include smoking, exposure to second-hand smoke, air pollution, occupational hazards, and genetic predisposition. Early detection plays a crucial role in successful lung cancer treatment.
When Is Lung Cancer Treatment Required?
Evaluation and treatment by Dr. Sachin Trivedi may be recommended if a patient experiences:
- Persistent cough or coughing up blood
- Shortness of breath or chest pain
- Recurrent chest infections
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
- Abnormal findings on chest X-ray or CT scan
Treatment planning is individualized and depends on cancer type, stage, lung function, and the patient’s overall health status.
Lung Cancer Treatment Options Offered by Dr. Sachin Trivedi
01
Surgical Treatment for Lung Cancer
Surgery is often the preferred option for early-stage lung cancer when the tumor is localized and operable.
Common surgical procedures include:
- Wedge resection: Removal of a small portion of lung tissue
- Lobectomy: Removal of an entire lung lobe
- Pneumonectomy: Removal of one lung in advanced cases
The primary goal is complete tumor removal while preserving maximum lung capacity.
02
Minimally Invasive Lung Cancer Surgery
Whenever clinically suitable, minimally invasive techniques such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) are used to:
- Reduce postoperative pain
- Shorten hospital stay
- Promote faster recovery
- Improve overall surgical outcomes
03
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy may be recommended:
- Before surgery to shrink tumors
- After surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells
- As a primary treatment in advanced or inoperable cases
04
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells and may be advised alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy, depending on cancer stage and location.
05
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy
Advanced treatments such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy may be recommended for selected patients based on genetic testing and tumor characteristics. These therapies aim to improve outcomes while reducing side effects.
06
Multimodal Lung Cancer Treatment
Many patients benefit from a combined treatment approach involving surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and newer systemic treatments for optimal disease control.
