What Causes Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer often develops due to long-term exposure to harmful substances, but several factors contribute

• Smoking: The leading cause of lung cancer due to carcinogens in tobacco smoke.
• Secondhand Smoke: Exposure to smoke from others increases risk.
• Radon Gas: A naturally occurring gas that can accumulate indoors.
• Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals: Asbestos, arsenic, and diesel exhaust are known contributors.
• Family History: Genetic predisposition plays a role.

 Consult our oncologists for a detailed assessment of your risk factors and guidance on preventive measures.

Symptoms of Lung Cancer

Symptoms of lung cancer may not appear until advanced stages, making early detection crucial. Common signs include:

• Persistent cough that worsens over time
• Shortness of breath and wheezing
• Chest pain, especially during deep breaths or coughing
• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
• Coughing up blood or rust-colored phlegm
• Recurrent lung infections like bronchitis or pneumonia

If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t delay. Schedule your consultation today at The Cancer Therapist for expert evaluation and care.

Risk Factors for Lung Cancer

Several factors elevate the risk of lung cancer, including:

1. Tobacco Use: Active or passive smoking significantly increases the risk.
2. Environmental Exposure: Radon gas, asbestos, and industrial pollutants contribute.
3. Genetics: A family history of lung cancer can predispose individuals.
4. Air Pollution: Prolonged exposure to polluted environments raises risks.

 Take control of your health—book a preventive screening with Dr. Mounika Boppana and Dr. Sri Vardhan Jasti to detect issues early.

Complications of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer can lead to severe complications if left untreated, such as:

• Breathing difficulties
• Persistent chest infections
• Bone pain due to metastasis
• Fluid accumulation around the lungs (pleural effusion)
• Neurological problems if cancer spreads to the brain

 Early intervention is key. Contact us today for a personalized treatment plan designed by experienced oncologists.

Diagnosis and Prevention

Diagnostic Procedures:

• Imaging Tests: CT scans, chest X-rays, and MRIs to identify abnormal growths.
• Biopsy: Tissue sample analysis to confirm cancer presence.
• Sputum Cytology: Examining mucus under a microscope for cancer cells.
• Bronchoscopy: Direct examination of the lungs using a camera.

Prevention Tips:
