Understanding Lung Cancer

Lung cancer begins in the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body. It is primarily categorized into two main types: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). The treatment approach varies depending on the type, stage, and overall health of the patient.

Treatment Options

1. Surgery

   • Lobectomy: Removal of one lobe of the lung.
   • Pneumonectomy: Removal of an entire lung.
   • Segmentectomy or Wedge Resection: Removal of a segment of the lung.

2. Radiation Therapy

   • External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): Targeted radiation to kill cancer cells.
   • Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT): High doses of radiation in fewer treatments.

3. Chemotherapy

   • Systemic Treatment: Uses drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body.
   • Adjuvant Chemotherapy: Post-surgery treatment to eliminate remaining cancer cells.

4. Targeted Therapy

   • EGFR Inhibitors: For cancers with specific genetic mutations.
   • ALK Inhibitors: Target abnormal ALK gene proteins in cancer cells.

5. Immunotherapy

   • Checkpoint Inhibitors: Helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.

6. Clinical Trials
