Our dedicated team of highly skilled doctors, medical centers, and plastic surgeons are here to offer personalized, innovative, and compassionate care to patients facing a lung cancer diagnosis.
Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when abnormal cells divide and grow uncontrollably in the lungs. If left untreated, lung cancer can spread to other parts of the body, making early detection and prompt treatment crucial for a successful outcome.
Types of Lung Cancer
There are two main types of lung cancer:
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): This is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of cases. NSCLC is further categorized into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
- Small cell lung cancer (SCLC): This type of lung cancer is less common but tends to spread faster than NSCLC. SCLC is often associated with heavy smoking.
Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
Diagnosing lung cancer involves a series of tests conducted by our skilled medical professionals. These tests may include:
- Chest X-rays: Used to detect abnormalities or masses in the lungs.
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: Provides detailed images of the lungs, helping identify the size and location of any potential tumors.
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan: Measures metabolic activity in the lungs to determine the extent of cancer.
- Biopsy: Involves the removal of a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Treatment Options
Neumark Surgery offers a wide range of personalized and effective treatment options for private lung cancer treatment. Our dedicated team of doctors and plastic surgeons work collaboratively to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.
Surgical Interventions
Surgery plays a crucial role in lung cancer treatment, especially for early-stage cancers. The following surgical procedures may be recommended:
- Lobectomy: Removal of the entire lobe of the lung affected by cancer.
- Pneumonectomy: Complete removal of the lung affected by cancer.
- Segmentectomy/Wedge Resection: Removal of a part of the lung containing the tumor, typically performed for small, localized cancers.
Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy
For more advanced stages of lung cancer, a combined approach of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is often recommended. Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells, while radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to target and eliminate cancerous tumors.
