Lung Cancer: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention | Yashoda Hospital
Smoking is not the only culprit of lung cancer. Even second-hand smoking can increase the risk of the disease. Family history and exposure to carcinogens like asbestos can be other causes.
Lung cancer can essentially be of two types:
Small cell lung cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer
Generally, small cell lung cancer occurs in smokers. The latter consists of all other types of cancer. The treatment given to lung cancer patient will vary based on the type and stage of cancer.
You should consult the doctor if you experience persistent coughing, blood-tinged phlegm, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, etc. The symptoms of lung cancer in men and women are the same. Clinical diagnostic tests will be required to confirm the suspicion.
Early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer are key to successfully cure it. We recognize that and have dedicated lung cancer treatment facility and technologies in Yashoda Hospitals. We are equipped with Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation System (the lung point) which enables early diagnosis of lung cancer.
