LUNG CANCER TREATMENT - FORTIS HEALTHCARE

LUNG CANCER TREATMENT
Lung cancer
in layman terms is the abnormal growth of lung cells which have the ability to spread to other organs of the body including the glands like adrenal and brain,bone and liver.Even though cigarette smoking accounts to the major cause of lung cancer but not all cases point to smoking as the one.

Symptoms that cease to get noticed are:

1.Chronic cough
2.Hoarseness
3.Coughing up blood
4.Weight loss or loss of appetite
5.Shortness of breath
6.Fever without a known reason

7.Repeated pneumonia or bronchitis
8.Chest pain


Treatments that are available after recognizing the real cause for concern are:

1. Lung Cancer Chemotherapy:This method involves injecting cancer killing cells directly into veins.
2.Radiation Treatment:This method involves usage of high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
3.Treatment of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer:This treatment consists of standard and clinical approach. Wherein most patients of Lung Cancer prefer clinical tests before going for a standard treatment.
