2. Causes of Thoracic Cancer:

 Family history of lung cancer
Types of Thoracic Cancer:
Thoracic cancer includes all cancers in the chest cavity, including lung cancers, thymic cancers,
and tracheal (windpipe) cancers. Lung cancers are the most common type of thoracic cancer.
The most common lung cancers are:
Non-small cell lung cancer: Approximately 80-85 percent of lung cancers are non-small cell
lung cancers. This includes adenocarcinoma which is a type of cancer beginning in the mucus-
secreting cells in the lungs, squamous cell carcinoma (a type of cancer starting in the lung’s
lining cells), and large cell carcinoma (this can begin in any part of the lung).
Small-cell lung cancer: About 10-15 percent of lung cancers are small-cell cancers. This
cancer can form anywhere in the lung and grows quickly, making it easier to treat but also it is
more likely to return over time.
Mesothelioma: It begins in the peritoneum, pleura, or other lining tissues in the abdominal
cavity.
Thymoma: The thymus is a small organ in the chest that sits under the breastbone and
regulates the lymph system (the lymph system makes white blood cells). Cancers that appear in
the thymus are called thymomas or thymic malignancies.
Other cancers: Pancreatic cancer, Breast cancer, and some other cancers originating elsewhere
in the body can sometimes metastasize to the lungs or other organs in the chest cavity, which
causes thoracic cancer.
Stages of Thoracic Cancer:
Cancer stages help to plan the way of treatment. At an early stage cancer’s chance of successful
treatment is higher. Regular screening can help to detect it at an early stage. Dr. Lalit Banswal
will guide & help you through all the stages. He is the best Lung Cancer Specialist in Undri
Pune.
Non-small-cell lung cancer stages :
Initial Stage: Cancer has not spread into your lung tissues or outside your lungs but a very
small tumor is formed.
Stage 1: Cancer is detected in the lung, but it is not in your lymph node.
Stage 2: Cancer is detected in the lung and may have spread to your lymph node.
Stage 3: Cancer is in the lung and lymph nodes and may have spread to the middle of the
chest.
Stage 4: Cancer has spread in your both lungs, and may have spread to different organs like
bones, liver, brain, etc.

 Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy
 Transtracheal FNA or transbronchial FNA
 Transthoracic needle biopsy
Treatment options:
Thoracic cancer is curable and the cure rate is almost 80%-90% for patients who have early-
stage cancer but the cure rate falls dramatically as it moves to a more advanced stage.
Screening for lung cancer can save lives.
Various treatment options can be used like surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted
therapy, or a combination of these treatments.
1) Surgery:
Surgery is an essential phase of treatment for Thoracic Cancer. It is generally useful when the
cancer is limited to the lungs. Surgery is also operated to take out extra cancerous tissue after
chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Lung Cancer Specialist in Undri Pune Dr. Lalit
Banswal plans the treatment as per the patient’s level of disease.
The most typical surgical procedures are:
1)Thoracotomy: In thoracotomy, a cut is made between the ribs to reach and see the lungs or
other organs in the chest or thorax.
2)Minimally invasive surgery: This involves the use of a camera and instruments to access the
lung through small incisions between the ribs.
3)Wedge resection: It is performed to remove a small part of the lung that contains the tumor
along with an edge of healthy tissue
4)Segmental resection: It is performed to remove a larger part of the lung, but not an entire
lobe.
5)Lobectomy: It is executed to remove the whole lobe of one lung
6)Pneumonectomy: It is performed to remove a whole lung.
2) Radiation Therapy:
Thoracic radiation therapy treatment is given to cure patients whose lung cancers can not be
removed with surgery. It is a type of cancer treatment that is directed at the chest, heart, and
torso regions. Using advanced technologies, powerful doses of radiation can be produced directly
into the tumor with excellent precision. Dr. Lalit Banswal is a Thoracic Cancer Specialist In
Undri Pune, who plans a personalized radiation treatment program for every patient.
Thoracic radiation therapy can also cause side effects that can impact the quality of life but Dr.
Lalit Banswal with his immense knowledge & experience helps to treat the patients with few or
no side effects.
3) Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is usually used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that may survive. Two chemo
drugs with the combination are often used to treat lung cancer in its early stage. Chemotherapy
may also be used to reduce pain and other signs and also may be used before surgery to

advanced technology and experience, our specialist Dr. Lalit Banswal treats Thoracic Cancer very
effectively.
4)Proton therapy
Proton therapy is extremely helpful for lung cancer treatment; our specialist Dr. Lalit
Banswal, Lung Cancer Specialist in Undri Pune can deliver very precise and highly effective
doses of protons to the exact spot of lung cancer. With very minimal exposure to healthy bone
marrow and lung tissue, there is a much less chance of lung injury.
5)Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets cancer’s specific proteins, genes, or the tissue that
contributes to cancer survival and growth.
Many targeted therapy drugs are utilized to treat lung cancer, though most are dedicated to
people with chronic cancer.
Sometimes when chemotherapy doesn’t work, targeted therapy work differently, Our Lung
Cancer expert Dr. Lalit Banswal uses targeted drugs that are most often for advanced lung
cancers, sometimes along with chemo as per the need of the treatment. It significantly enhances
patient outcomes and quality of life. It is successful in up to 80% of cases.
6)Stereotactic body radiation therapy
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a technique that delivers precise doses of targeted
radiation to a tumor. This allows the treatment of small or medium-sized tumors in single or
limited doses.
7)Intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) can improve the therapeutic dose ratio with an
advanced treatment delivery technique. This treatment is mostly used for non-small cell lung
cancer.
IMRT uses advanced techniques to decide and deliver variable portions of radiation directly to
the tumor.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is used for some people with lung cancer which is a
specialized form of IMRT.
