Exploring the Significance of Lung Cancer by Dr. Niti

Dr. Niti Raizada Jun 28, 2024

The Important Aspect of Lung Cancer By Dr. Niti

Lung cancer stands out as the predominant cause of cancer-related fatalities globally when considering both male and female populations. Annually, approximately 2 million lives are lost to this formidable disease, primarily linked to tobacco use and smoking.

Evolving Understanding of Lung Cancer Subtypes

Despite extensive research, lung cancer remains a formidable challenge, prompting continuous shifts in our understanding. There is an ongoing effort to redefine lung cancer through molecular subset classification. Subtypes such as EGFR-positive, commonly found in the Indian population, and ALK ROS, or MET-positive cases are identified. In the absence of these markers, evaluation includes PDL1, determining eligibility for ground-breaking immunotherapy.

The Role of Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer Treatment

Immunotherapy, a compelling concept in cancer treatment, involves modifying the individual's inherent immunity to enhance responses against cancer. Both crucial subtypes of lung cancer, non-small cell, and small cell, play significant roles in immunotherapy, even in initial advance treatments.

Importance of Early Screening and Intervention

For individuals with a history of chronic smoking, understanding the associated risks is vital. Those aged 50 and above with substantial smoking backgrounds are urged to consult their oncologist. Regular low-dose CT scans, performed annually, serve as a screening tool to identify solitary pulmonary nodules, potential early indicators of lung cancer. This proactive approach ensures timely intervention and appropriate care.
