Lung Cancer Treatments We Offer

Surgery

For early-stage lung cancer, surgery may be the primary treatment option. Our experienced surgeons employ minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to minimise complications and promote faster recovery.

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells. Our state-of-the-art radiation therapy equipment allows for precise targeting of tumours, minimising damage to healthy tissues.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy employs drugs to eliminate cancer cells throughout the body. Our oncologists carefully select chemotherapy regimens based on the patient's individual characteristics and tumour type.

Targeted drug therapy

Targeted drug therapy utilises drugs that specifically target molecular abnormalities in cancer cells. This approach offers a more personalised and less toxic treatment option for select lung cancer patients.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy harnesses the power of the body's immune system to fight cancer. Our specialists are at the forefront of immunotherapy research and offer the latest advancements in this promising treatment modality.

Palliative care

Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with lung cancer, addressing pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. Our palliative care team provides individualised care plans to enhance comfort and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common symptoms of lung cancer include coughing (especially if it persists or worsens over time), chest pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, fatigue, weight loss, and coughing up blood.

There are several ways to diagnose lung cancer, including imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans. A biopsy (removal of a small section of tissue for examination) is typically necessary to confirm a diagnosis.

The treatment options for lung cancer depend on factors like the stage of cancer and the patient's overall health. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of the treatment approaches.

Nowadays, with Next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the biopsy sample, specific and customised treatment strategies can be adopted by your Lung cancer specialist to reduce the tumour burden in limited-stage disease and sometimes make it removable by your Lung cancer surgeon, which may ultimately improve disease-free survival.

Lung cancer can be curable in some cases, particularly when it is caught early and has not spread beyond the lungs. However, the outlook for lung cancer is generally better when it is diagnosed and treated at an early stage.

Smoking is the most significant risk factor for lung cancer, accounting for the vast majority of cases. Other factors include exposure to radon, asbestos, and other carcinogens, a family history of lung cancer, and certain genetic mutations.

Yes, non-smokers can get lung cancer, although the risk is lower than for smokers. Non-smoking-related risk factors for lung cancer include exposure to secondhand smoke, radon, and other environmental toxins.

An oncologist is a medical professional specialising in diagnosing and treating cancer, including lung cancer, typically using non-surgical approaches like chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A thoracic surgeon, on the other hand, is a specialist who performs surgical procedures on the chest, including surgeries related to lung cancer, such as tumour removal or lung resection.

Max Hospitals is home to a team of some of the best lung cancer doctors in India, each with extensive experience and specialised expertise.
