Understanding Lung Cancer: A Crucial First Step

Lung cancer is a complex disease that arises in the lungs, primarily affecting the air passages. Understanding the various types of lung cancer—such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC)—is crucial for effective treatment. Each type necessitates different treatment approaches tailored to an individual's health status, cancer stage, and personal preferences.

Types of Lung Cancer

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases, NSCLC can be further divided into subtypes, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
• Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): This aggressive form accounts for about 15% of lung cancers and tends to spread quickly, necessitating prompt treatment.

Comprehensive Treatments Offered

At Neumark Surgery, we offer a range of treatment options tailored to lung cancer patients:

Surgical Treatments

Surgery can play a pivotal role in lung cancer treatment, especially for early-stage cancers. Our cutting-edge surgical options include:

• lobectomy: Removal of a lobe of the lung, often performed when the cancer is localized.
• pneumonectomy: Complete removal of a lung, utilized in specific cases of advanced cancer.
• video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS): A less invasive approach that allows doctors to operate through small incisions, promoting quicker recovery.

Medical Treatments

Our lung cancer doctors utilize the latest medical therapies tailored to the individual patient's cancer type and stage:

• Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment that kills cancer cells, often employed for more aggressive forms of lung cancer.
• Targeted Therapy: Focused on specific genetic mutations in cancer cells, these therapies can improve outcomes significantly.
• Immunotherapy: Leveraging the body's immune system to fight cancer, this modern approach has transformed the treatment landscape.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation can be an effective option for lung cancer treatment, either as a primary treatment or in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy. Our advanced techniques include:

• External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): Targeted beams that deliver radiation directly to the tumor.
• Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): Allows for very precise delivery of high doses of radiation in fewer sessions, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

The Importance of Early Detection

Early detection of lung cancer significantly enhances treatment efficacy and improves survival rates. Our team at Neumark Surgery emphasizes routine screening and awareness of lung cancer symptoms:

Symptoms can include:

• Persistent cough
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Unexplained weight loss
• Coughing up blood

Screening Programs

We offer structured screening programs for high-risk individuals, including those with a history of smoking or a family history of lung cancer. Our screening methods include:

• Low-Dose CT Scans: Effective in detecting lung cancer at earlier stages, leading to timely intervention.
