How फेफड़ों का कैंसर is diagnosed
-
1
CT scan of the chest
Shows the size and position of a tumour more clearly than an X-ray.
-
2
Biopsy
Taken through a CT-guided needle or a bronchoscopy to confirm cancer and its type.
-
3
Molecular tests
Tests for EGFR, ALK, ROS1 and PD-L1 decide whether targeted drugs or immunotherapy will work.
-
4
PET-CT
Checks for spread to lymph nodes, bones or other organs.
Treatment options
The right plan depends on the stage, the type of cancer and your overall health. Most patients receive more than one of these.
Targeted therapy
Tablets that block a specific gene change in the cancer, used when molecular tests are positive.
Immunotherapy
Drugs that help the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells.
Chemotherapy
Used alone or with immunotherapy, depending on the stage.

Yes, if the cancer has certain gene changes such as EGFR or ALK. That is why molecular testing on the biopsy matters.
Yes. Stopping smoking improves breathing, helps treatment work better and reduces side effects.
