What is Lung Cancer and how to prevent it?

Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly

Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and is responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths. It occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs begin to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can spread to other parts of the body. Lung cancer is typically divided into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), each of which requires a different treatment approach.

 

At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly, we specialize in providing advanced lung cancer treatment options to patients. Our team of oncologists, led by Dr. Arjun Agarwal, is committed to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each patient. Our goal is to help our patients achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life.

 

One of the most common treatments for lung cancer is surgery. In early-stage NSCLC, surgery may be used to remove the tumor and any affected lymph nodes. This is often followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. In more advanced cases, surgery may not be possible, and other treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be used as the primary treatment.

 

Radiation therapy involves using high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. It may be used as the primary treatment for NSCLC or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly, we use advanced radiation therapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

 

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as surgery or radiation therapy. At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute, we use the latest chemotherapy drugs and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

 

Immunotherapy is a newer type of cancer treatment that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer. It works by blocking proteins that allow cancer cells to hide from the immune system or by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer cells. At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute, we offer immunotherapy to patients with advanced NSCLC who have not responded to other treatments.

 

In addition to these treatments, we also offer supportive care services such as pain management, nutrition counseling, and psychological support to help our patients manage the physical and emotional effects of lung cancer.

 

At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly, we are committed to providing the most advanced and personalized lung cancer treatment options to our patients. Our team of oncologists, led by Dr. Arjun Agarwal, is dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes for each patient.
