Lung cancer starts in the lungs and ranks among the top causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Turkey sees a high occurrence due to widespread smoking and air pollution. This disease affects both genders, with older people at higher risk.
Doctors can treat lung cancer through operations, medications, radiation, targeted methods, and immune system boosters. The approach depends on the type of cancer (small or non-small cell) and its stage of progression. Large hospitals offer less invasive surgeries, such as VATS.
To find lung cancer, doctors use CT scans, PET-CT scans to look inside the lungs, and take tissue samples. They also check blood and look for specific markers. Top hospitals in Turkey utilise computer programs and 3D images to aid in diagnosis. Results are typically available within two to three days.
Doctors use robot-aided operations, CyberKnife systems, and radiation therapy that can adjust its intensity. Patients can get drugs that target specific genes after DNA tests. A few medical centres provide proton beam therapy and look at molecules to plan care. High-tech scans enable the creation of customised treatment strategies for each individual.
