Lung Cancer Management

Lung Cancer Treatment by Dr. Aditya vadan

Lung cancer is a malignant growth that originates in the lungs, often occurring in individuals with a history of smoking.

Several treatment approaches are available for lung cancer, and the most suitable options depend on various factors, including the type of lung cancer—whether non-small cell or small cell—and its stage. Non-small cell lung cancer is typically treated using a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapies, or a combination of these. In contrast, small cell lung cancer is often addressed through chemotherapy and radiation. Dr. Aditya vadan and his multidisciplinary team will work closely with you to answer all your questions and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your diagnosis and individual needs.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy can be used before surgery to shrink tumors, after surgery or radiation to eliminate remaining cancer cells, or to treat locally advanced or metastatic disease.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy may be delivered externally or through implants placed close to or within the tumors to target lung cancer cells.

Immunotherapy

Certain immunotherapy drugs may be used alone or in combination with other treatments to address specific types of lung cancer, helping to boost the body's immune response to fight cancer cells.

Interventional Pulmonology

Interventional pulmonology techniques are sometimes used independently or alongside other therapies to diagnose lung cancer, treat tumors, and alleviate symptoms such as breathing difficulties or pain.

Surgery

In certain cases, surgery is performed to remove tumors and cancerous tissue from the lungs, aiming for a curative approach when possible.

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapies are designed to attack specific cancer cells with minimal impact on normal cells. Dr. Aditya vadan uses the latest targeted treatment options, sometimes in combination with chemotherapy, radiation, or interventional pulmonology, depending on the case.
