Lung Cancer Treatment Hospital in Chandigarh

What Is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer starts when cells inside the lungs grow abnormally and form a tumour. Tumours can block airways, damage lung tissue and spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Early detection gives better treatment options. Later stages often need combined treatments and careful supportive care.

Types of Lung Cancer

• Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) — the most common type (includes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell).
• Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) — less common but usually more aggressive.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

• Persistent cough or change in a long-standing cough
• Coughing up blood or blood-streaked sputum
• Shortness of breath or wheeze
• Chest pain, especially with breathing or coughing
• Unexplained weight loss and tiredness
• Recurrent chest infections

Risk Factors (Chandigarh & North India)

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

How Fuda Diagnoses Lung Cancer for Chandigarh Patients

Many tests can be arranged locally in Chandigarh and reviewed by Fuda specialists via Rekosh:

• Chest X-ray — basic first check
• CT scan (chest / HRCT) — detailed imaging of lung nodules and lymph nodes
• PET-CT — to detect active cancer and distant spread when needed
• Bronchoscopy & biopsy — tissue sampling for diagnosis
• Molecular testing — EGFR, ALK, ROS1, PD-L1 etc., to guide targeted or immunotherapy
• Multidisciplinary review — reports reviewed by specialists in Guangzhou and India for precise planning

• NanoKnife IRE (Irreversible Electroporation): For tumours close to vital structures in selected cases.
• Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment for many stages.
• Targeted therapy: For tumours with actionable genetic changes.
• Immunotherapy: Helps the immune system target cancer cells in eligible patients.
