What is Lung Cancer?
A leading cause of cancer mortality; early diagnosis and molecular profiling enable personalized therapy.
Lung cancer arises from abnormal growth of cells in the lungs, commonly in bronchial linings. Two major types are NSCLC (non‑small cell) and SCLC (small cell). Accurate staging with CT/PET‑CT and tissue diagnosis via bronchoscopy or CT‑guided biopsy guide therapy decisions.
Epidemiology & Key Stats
Global Incidence: 2.2M new cases annually worldwide
India Incidence: Rising incidence, including in non‑smokers; air pollution contributes
Prevalence: Leading cause of cancer deaths; NSCLC ~85% of cases
Avg Diagnosis Age: 60–70 years (varies by region)
Overall Survival: Highly stage‑dependent; early stage significantly better
Survival ranges reflect population data; individual prognosis depends on stage, biology, and access to multidisciplinary care.
Clinical Overview
Care relies on stage (TNM), histology (adenocarcinoma/squamous), molecular drivers (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET, KRAS, PD‑L1), performance status, and comorbidities. Multidisciplinary boards align surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, and supportive care.
Pathogenesis
Carcinogenesis is driven by tobacco smoke, pollution, and genetic/aging‑related mutations. Oncogenic drivers (EGFR, ALK) create targetable vulnerabilities. Tumor microenvironment and immune checkpoints influence progression and therapy response.
Early Detection
Persistent cough, hemoptysis, unexplained weight loss, and non‑resolving infections warrant evaluation. Low‑dose CT for high‑risk individuals improves early detection; smoking cessation reduces risk and improves outcomes.
Management Focus
Goals: complete local control for early disease (surgery/SBRT), optimal sequencing of chemo‑immunotherapy for locally advanced, and precision targeted or immunotherapy for metastatic disease, with toxicity mitigation and symptom relief.
Decision Drivers
TNM stage & operability (resectable vs unresectable)Molecular alterations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET, KRAS, PD‑L1)Histology (adenocarcinoma vs squamous) guiding regimen choicesPulmonary reserve & cardiac risk for thoracic surgeryPatient goals, performance status, support systems
Survivorship
Follow‑up monitors pulmonary function, treatment‑related neuropathy/fatigue, immune‑related adverse events, bone health, and psychosocial wellbeing. Vaccinations, pulmonary rehab, nutrition, and exercise support recovery.
Individualized care aligns tumor biology, stage, and patient goals to optimize outcomes.

Lung Cancer Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, patient‑friendly answers to common lung cancer queries. All FAQs are visible (no accordion) for easy scanning and search optimization.
How is lung cancer detected?
Doctors detect lung cancer with tests like chest X-rays or CT scans that show any unusual spots in the lungs. If something looks doubtful, a small tissue sample (biopsy) is taken to confirm cancer. Early tests help find the disease sooner.
What are the symptoms of lung cancer?
A long-lasting cough, coughing blood, chest pain, and breathing difficulty are common signs. People may also feel weak, lose weight, or get frequent chest infections. Any symptom that stays for weeks should be checked by a doctor.
What causes lung cancer?
Most lung cancer happens due to smoking or breathing in polluted air and harmful chemicals for many years. Even non-smokers can get it because of family history or secondhand smoke. Sometimes the exact reason is not known.
How is lung cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis starts with scans to look inside the lungs, followed by a biopsy to confirm the type of cancer. Doctors may also do blood tests or special scopes to understand how far it has spread. This helps choose the right treatment.
Can stage 4 lung cancer be cured?
Stage 4 lung cancer is very advanced, so curing it completely is difficult. But treatments like immunotherapy, targeted drugs, and chemotherapy can slow the disease and help patients live longer. Care focuses on comfort and improving life quality.
Why does lung cancer happen?
Lung cancer happens when lung cells get damaged and start growing wrongly. Smoking, pollution, and chemical exposure increase this damage. Age and genetics can also make some people more at risk.
