About Lung Cancer Surgery
Lung cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lungs. Common symptoms may include a persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, and unexplained weight loss. Smoking is a major risk factor, although lung cancer can also affect people who have never smoked. Early diagnosis and proper medical evaluation help determine the most suitable treatment. Lung Cancer Surgery involves removing the cancerous part of the lung when the tumour can be treated surgically. Depending on the size, location, and stage of cancer, the procedure may involve removing a small section of the lung, a lung lobe, or an entire lung in selected cases. Nearby lymph nodes may also be removed to check for cancer spread. Other treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, may be recommended depending on the patient’s condition.
