4. Lung Cancer: Early Signs, Risk and Treatment
The lungs are two spongy organs located in our chest and
functions to release carbon dioxide when we exhale.
Cancer in lung cells is identified as lung cancer and is one
of the largest causes of cancer related deaths in India.
Smoking is the greatest cause of cancer but people who
don’t smoke can also get this disease. But it has been
proved that smoking increases the risk of lung cancer.
Quitting smoking can also significantly reduce the
chances of developing lung cancer.

5. SYMPTOMS
In the earlier stages of lung cancer, you will not necessarily feel any signs or symptoms. They only occur when the
disease reaches to an advanced stage and the signs may include:
• Consistent cough
• Coughing blood, even occasionally
• Pain in bone and chest
• Hoarseness
• Shortness of breath
• Sudden weight loss
• Headache

6. RISK FACTORS
A number of factors can contribute in increasing the risk of lung cancer. Some can be controlled, while some factors can’t
be controlled. Here are a few significant risk factors which include:
• Smoking or passive smoking
• Previous history of undergoing radiation therapy
• Exposure to radon gas
• Exposure to asbestos and other carcinogenic materials
• Family history
While undergoing lung cancer treatment, patients are strictly adviced to avoid all these risk factors.

7. TREATMENT
Treatments help to get rid of cancer in the lungs or just slow down the growth. They either remove cancerous cells by
destroying them or stop them from multiplying and teach your immune system to fight back. Some lung cancer
treatments are also used to reduce symptoms and pain. These are called as palliative treatment. The treatments are
usually given according to the type of lung cancer, its location, the stage of severity and many other factors.
• Surgery – this procedure is done to remove all or part of the infected lung to eliminate the recurrence of cancer.
• Radiofrequency ablation - high-energy radio waves are used under this type of lung cancer treatment to heat and
destroy cancerous cells.
• Radiation therapy – it is used to kill cancer cells and also used as palliative care to relieve pain.

8. •Chemotherapy – often given in a combination of multiple medications to stop the growth of cancer cells.
•Immunotherapy – it reveals cancer cells to our immune system so that our body destroys them.
•Palliative treatments – these are given to relieve symptoms such as pain or difficulty in breathing.
The Sarvodaya Cancer Institute in Faridabad offers the best lung cancer treatment with their advanced technology and
