Lung cancer occurs as a result of excessive and uncontrolled proliferation of cells in the lung or windpipe. One of the most important factors in lung cancers is smoking and its derivatives. In addition, exposure to asbestos and radon gas and genetic predisposition also play an important role in the formation of lung cancer.
Lung cancers do not show symptoms at the initial stage. However, as the cancer progresses, there are symptoms of coughing, blood coming with cough, back pain, weakening, weakness, hoarseness, shortness of breath.
The chances of success of the treatment are related to the stage of the disease. Surgical method is applied in the initial stages of the disease and is the most effective method with a chance of fully recovering from the disease. In addition, cryosurgery, i.e., freezing and destroying cancerous cells, can be applied in early diagnosed lung cancers. Surgical treatment can be supported by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is applied in cases where the disease progresses, and radiotherapy is applied in some cases. In cases where the patient suffers from shortness of breath, but it is not appropriate to perform surgery surgically, the tumours can be cleaned by bronchoscopy.
