The treatment of lung cancer depends on various factors like type of cancer and age of the patient, stage of cancer and overall health of the patient. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are the most common methods of treating cancer, along with combinations of these treatments, depending on the location and extent of the tumor and the patient’s overall health.

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Lung Cancer

Minimally Invasive is next generation latest surgical technique developed to treat lung cancer with more accurate surgery. It is a surgical procedure that can be performed with a few smaller incisions rather than a large open one. It involves the use of short, narrow tubes which are inserted through small incisions, allowing patients to have a faster recovery. It has several important benefits for the patients. 

• Faster and simpler procedure.
• Reduced post-operative complications
• Faster recovery
• Less pain and scarring

 CyberKnife Radiosurgery

Cyberknife radiosurgery is the latest, non-invasive, next generation technology treatment as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous tumours. It treats tumors with pin-point accuracy and precisely deliver treatment to the tumor alone, sparing surrounding healthy tissue. It is a New hope for patients worldwide who’ve inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be seeking out a non-surgical choice. It is an innovation in the treatment of cancer , a breakthrough technology which brings an unparalleled approach to treating inoperable tumors.

Radiation Therapy – Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams or other types of radiation are given to the patient to kill the cancer cells. It may be given as curative therapy, palliative therapy (using lower doses of radiation than with curative therapy), or as adjuvant therapy in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. Radiation therapy generally only shrinks a tumour or limits its growth when given as a sole therapy. Radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy can further prolong survival when chemotherapy is administered. External radiation therapy can generally be carried out on an outpatient basis, while internal radiation therapy requires a brief hospital stay.

Chemotherapy- Chemotherapy interferes with cell division process of the malignant cells and damages their DNA or proteins in the process. The aim of this treatment is to rapidly divide the cells. The normal cells can be recovered from any chemical-induced damage, whereas cancer cells cannot be recovered. The medicines in chemotherapy travel in a systematic way by passing through the complete body and destroying the original tumour cells that have spread from the lungs to other parts of the body.
