Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Life is Saved by Early Diagnosis! We are with you in Lung Cancer Treatment!
Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and may not cause symptoms at an early stage. For this reason, regular screenings and early diagnosis are of great importance.In the Department of Pulmonary and Chest Diseases, we provide services with the latest technology and scientific approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Our goal is to start treatment by detecting the disease at an early stage.

What is Liver Cancer?
Lung cancer is a disease that develops as a result of uncontrolled proliferation of cells in the lungs and formation of tumors. Although it is more common in individuals who smoke, other factors such as air pollution, genetic factors, occupational risks and radiation can also increase the risk of lung cancer.

Symptoms:
long-term cough
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Bloody sputum
Loss of appetite and weight loss
- hoarseness
- Fatigue and weakness

Lunger Cancer Diagnosis Methods
Early diagnosis of lung cancer can significantly improve the treatment process.As Patient and Pectoral Diseases Division, we use a range of advanced testing and testing methods to make an accurate diagnosis:

1. Xray and Thoracic Tomography (CT):
- X-ray film and computed tomography (CT) are used to detect lung cancer at the initial stage. These tests help us visually examine abnormalities and tumors in the lungs.

2. PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography):
PET-CT scans are performed to determine whether lung cancer has metastasized (spread to other parts of the body). This test can detect cancer cells in different parts of the body.

3. Bronchoscopy:
This test, performed via a camera placed inside the lungs, allows direct observation of tumors in the lungs and, if necessary, makes it possible to take a biopsy.

4. Biopsy:
Bronchoscopy or needle biopsy may be done to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. This test helps determine the type of tumor and develop the right approach to treatment.

5. Blood Tests:
Certain blood tests may be done to monitor cancer progression and response to treatment. These tests can help determine how cancer cells spread throughout the body.

Lung Cancer Treatment
Lung cancer treatment is specially planned according to the stage of the cancer, type and general health of the patient. Treatment options are:

1. Surgical Intervention:
In the early stages of lung cancer, the cancerous tumor and surrounding tissue can be surgically removed. Surgical treatment is one of the most effective methods for the complete elimination of cancer.

2. Chemotherapy:
chemotherapy is a drug treatment used to prevent the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. In the treatment of lung cancer, chemotherapy is commonly used, especially if the tumor cannot be surgically removed.

3. Radiotherapy:
- Radiotherapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. It is preferred especially in patients who do not respond to chemotherapy after surgical intervention or chemotherapy.

4. Targeted Therapy):
- This is the type of treatment performed by targeting the genetic structure of cancer cells. The specific molecules that cause cancer to develop are targeted, and treatment tries to block these molecules.

5. Immunotherapy:
Immunotherapies are treatment methods used to ensure that the immune system can fight cancer. Immunotherapies help to destroy cancer cells by being recognized by the immune system.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can lung cancer be cured?
Yes, lung cancer can be treated if detected at an early stage. It is possible to control cancer with early diagnosis, surgical intervention and other treatment methods. However, in advanced stages, the treatment process can become more complicated.

2. What lifestyle should I follow during lung cancer treatment?
During the treatment of lung cancer, healthy eating, regular exercise, non-smoking and protection from environmental factors are of great importance. You also need to strictly follow your doctor's recommendations during the treatment process.
