Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer worldwide. Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in one or both lungs, interfering with normal lung function.

How lung cancer is treated at T.R.U.E. Hospitals?
At T.R.U.E. Hospitals, lung cancer treatment is approached through a personalized, multidisciplinary strategy designed to provide the most effective care for each patient. The treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies, depending on the stage and type of cancer. The hospital’s expert oncology team uses the latest diagnostic tools, such as advanced imaging and biopsy techniques, to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
For early-stage cancers, surgery may be recommended to remove the tumor or part of the lung. In more advanced stages, chemotherapy or radiation may be used to shrink tumors or slow cancer growth. Targeted therapies and immunotherapies are also available for patients with specific genetic mutations or advanced disease, helping to block cancer cell growth or boost the body’s immune response.
Throughout treatment, T.R.U.E. Hospitals emphasizes patient-centered care, offering support services such as counseling, nutrition advice, and pain management to help patients manage side effects and improve their quality of life. Regular follow-up care is integral to monitor progress and address any complications or concerns.

FAQ About Lung Cancer
What are the early warning signs of lung cancer?
Many patients have no symptoms early on. When present, early signs may include a persistent cough, fatigue, or chest discomfort. Any unusual or lasting respiratory symptoms should be evaluated.
Can non-smokers get lung cancer?
Yes. While smoking is the main cause, lung cancer can also occur in non-smokers due to genetic factors, environmental exposure, or second-hand smoke.
Is lung cancer curable?
Yes, especially if detected early. Stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer can often be treated successfully with surgery or radiation. Advanced cases may be managed to improve quality of life and prolong survival.
How is lung cancer staged?
-
Staging is based on tumor size, lymph node involvement, and spread (metastasis). Stages range from I (early) to IV (advanced/metastatic).
What is the survival rate for lung cancer?
Survival depends on the type, stage, and response to treatment. Early detection significantly improves outcomes. For localized NSCLC, 5-year survival can exceed 60%, while advanced SCLC has a lower prognosis.
