Treatment For Lung Cancer
Treatment For Lung Cancer

Hi,

My name is Dr. Manish Kumar Singhal. Today, we will discuss treatment of lung cancer. Lung cancer, which was considered untreatable a decade ago, is now curable up to a large extent. The most important part of the treatment is to detect the cancer stage, for which we do the PET CT Scan. The treatment also depends on the subtypes of cancer. We are aware of ten different subtypes which are cured by different suitable drugs. To detect the subtypes, we need tissues for the biopsy, according to which we classify cancer into its subtypes. Under Stage 1, surgery is the preferred method of treatment. Stage 2 involves both surgery and chemotherapy, while the same is difficult to treat Stage 3.

Hence, Stage 3 is treated with the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Stage 4 is treated with different types of chemotherapies, or targeted therapies or immunotherapies as per the detected subtype. The treatment has the success rate of 60%, 40%, 20% under Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 respectively. However, Stage 4 is considered hard to cure but the survival rate has considerably increased by 25% in the last 5 years. Early detection is the key against lung cancer, but even in the case of detection in later stages, we are now able to achieve better survival rates for a longer period of time than before.


Major Symptoms Of Cancer
Major Symptoms Of Cancer

Hi! I am Dr. Manish Kumar Singhal. Hamare maximum question hota hai ki cancer ke major symptoms konse hain. So, isko easily yaad rkha ja skta hai jaise hange in bowel habits, any lump or ulcer anywhere joki heal nhi ho rha hai, unusual bleeding from anywhere. Like piles ki problem, khasi or vomiting me blood ana, thickening anywhere. Like skin ki thickening, khastor pe breast cancer me skin hard ho jata hai, indigestion. Like kbhi bhi khana na pachana ya khane khane or nigalane me dikkat ana.

Obvious size change in moles or warts. Kayi baar vo badh jate hain ya kale dhabbe me se bleeding hona ya unki shape change hone lgti hai. Nagging cough, khasi ki awaz change hona ya jaise kbhi nhi hoti khasi vaisi hona. Agar hum in symptoms ko leke aware rahne to hum cancer ko early detect kar sakte hain. Stage 1 me agar cancer detect ho gya to cure is 90%. Stage 2 ke lia cure rate is 50-70%. Stage 3 me 30-50%. And stage 4 me less than 10%. Isliya early detection is the key. If it can be detected early, it can be cured.
