TREATMENT FOR LUNG CANCER

One of the most commonly found cancers in the world is lung cancer. Just like other cancers, if detected early, it can be cured. Multiple treatments are available today in order to treat this condition. Doctors recommend treatment for lung cancer only after proper diagnosis of the cancer and to the extent to which it has spread. Your age, other health issues and body type are some of the factors that are also kept in mind while suggesting a remedy.
However, before opting for any treatment it is essential to talk about that with your doctor about its possible side effects, if any. Side effects may vary even for the same kind of treatment on two different persons depending upon their different body types.
There is a surgical procedure known as thoracotomy in which a cut is made into your chest and your rib cage is spread open in order to treat the tumor. This operation is major and might require weeks or months to heal. In some cases, minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) can also work which is less painful as well.
In chemotherapy, drugs attack cancer cells but some healthy cells are also affected in this process. This is why it may lead to certain side effects. Loss of hair, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, clotting or bleeding problems, loss of appetite, fatigue are some of the side effects experienced.
Radiation therapy is almost like going for an X-ray but with a heavy dose of course. The beam of radiation will target the cancer cells, but, along with it some healthy cells might get destroyed as well.  Even though the procedure is painless, it can also produce certain side effects such as fatigue, shortness of breath, sore throat or loss of appetite.

What is Breast Cancer & its Treatment

About Breast Cancer The term “breast cancer” refers to a malicious tumor that has developed from cells in the breast. Breast cancer either begins in the cells of the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the lobules to the nipple.
