Lung Cancer Treatment Hospital in Kolkata

What is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer starts when cells in the lungs grow out of control and form a tumour. Tumours can block airways, damage lung tissue and spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Early detection usually leads to better results. Later stages often need combined treatments and careful supportive care.

Types of Lung Cancer

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) — most common type, includes subtypes like adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
• Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) — less common but tends to grow and spread faster.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

• Persistent cough or cough that gets worse
• Coughing up blood or blood-streaked sputum
• Shortness of breath or wheeze
• Chest pain, especially on breathing or coughing
• Unexplained weight loss and tiredness
• Frequent chest infections

Risk Factors (Kolkata context)

• Smoking (cigarettes, beedis) — the biggest risk
• Second-hand smoke exposure
• Air pollution and industrial fumes
• Occupational exposure to asbestos, silica or chemical dust
• Previous lung disease or chest radiation
• Family history of lung cancer

How Fuda Diagnoses Lung Cancer for Kolkata Patients

Diagnosis can begin while you stay in Kolkata. Fuda and Rekosh guide you through tests, reviews and a clear plan:

• Chest X-ray — quick initial check.
• CT scan (chest) — detailed images of nodules and lymph nodes.
• PET-CT — to detect active cancer and distant spread, when needed.
• Bronchoscopy and biopsy — direct sampling of the tumour for diagnosis.
• Molecular testing — EGFR, ALK, ROS1, PD-L1 etc., to plan targeted or immunotherapy.
• Multidisciplinary review — specialists in Guangzhou and India review reports together for an accurate plan.

Advanced Treatments Offered Through Fuda

Treatment depends on type, stage and patient fitness. Fuda offers modern options aimed at disease control and quality of life:

• Surgery (lobectomy, segmentectomy) — for early-stage tumours when fit for surgery.
• Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) — high-precision radiation for small tumours or patients who cannot undergo surgery.
• Minimally invasive ablation (cryo/thermal) — to destroy small tumours with less recovery time.
• NanoKnife IRE — for selected tumours near important structures.
• Chemotherapy — standard systemic treatment for many stages.
• Targeted therapy & immunotherapy — used when molecular tests show specific changes.
• Palliative care — symptom control (breathlessness, cough, pain) to improve comfort and daily life.

Team Supporting Kolkata Patients

• Thoracic and lung cancer surgeons
• Medical oncologists (chemo, targeted drugs, immunotherapy)
