Lung Cancer Treatment

Lung Cancer Treatment & Care at H.O.P.E Oncology Clinic

Lung cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the tissues of the lungs.
At H.O.P.E Oncology Clinic, we provide advanced diagnostics, personalised treatment plans, and holistic patient support designed to cure cancer, control disease, and improve quality of life.

Our specialists focus on both medical excellence and compassionate care, helping patients breathe easier—physically and emotionally.

Understanding Lung Cancer

Lung cancer can be classified into:

  • Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) – Most common and often treatable
  • Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) – Faster-growing, requires combined therapy

Major causes and risk factors include:

  • Smoking and secondhand smoke exposure
  • Air pollution and occupational fumes
  • Family history and genetics
  • Radon or asbestos exposure

Common Symptoms

Symptoms vary by stage and may appear gradually:

  • Persistent cough or change in a long-standing cough
  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Shortness of breath or wheezing
  • Coughing up blood
  • Frequent lung infections (pneumonia/bronchitis)
  • Hoarseness of voice
  • Unexplained weight loss and fatigue

If these symptoms persist for more than 2–3 weeks, medical evaluation is essential.

Diagnosis & Evaluation

H.O.P.E Oncology Clinic uses advanced tools to identify the cancer type, size, and spread:

  • Chest X-ray & CT Scan
  • PET Scan to detect cancer spread
  • Bronchoscopy / Lung Biopsy
  • EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)
  • MRI for brain/spine screening (if needed)
  • Molecular Profiling / Genetic Testing – To select ideal targeted or immunotherapy drugs

Accurate staging ensures precise, personalised treatment.

Lung Cancer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. Non-smokers can also develop lung cancer due to genetics, pollution, or workplace exposures.
Early-stage lung cancer can be cured, often through surgery or radiation. Advanced cases can be controlled for long periods with targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
No. Treatment depends on the cancer stage. Some patients benefit more from radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.
Small-cell lung cancer spreads rapidly, while non–small cell grows more slowly. Early diagnosis improves outcomes in both.
Quit smoking, avoid secondhand smoke, reduce air pollution exposure, eat healthy, exercise regularly, and undergo screening if high-risk.
