Surgery for Lung

It constitutes the most advanced lung surgery, including lobectomy and pneumonectomy, in thoracic oncology. Lobectomy is an excision of an isolated lobe of a lung. Pneumonectomy is the removal of the complete lung. Both the treatments can be performed via minimally invasive approaches like thoracoscopy or robot assisted. These surgeries are integral parts of multimodal treatment plans for lung cancer.

Surgery for Esophagus

Esophagectomy means removal of a part or all of the esophagus and reconstructing the organ by incorporating parts of the stomach or intestine forms part of the intervention. This eliminates the cancerous tissue to improve survival possibilities and the quality of life. Conducted with precision, it is still a core part in the holistic management of esophageal cancer.

Surgery for Thymus

Thymectomy is among the most important thoracic oncology surgeries that have specifically been aimed at removing the thymus gland. It is primarily conducted in patients suffering from thymomas and other thymic tumors and a few autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis. This surgery aims at the removal of the affected gland to entirely get rid of malignancies and promote general health conditions.

Surgery for Mediastinal tumour

Resection of a mediastinal mass is a critical surgical procedure in thoracic oncology, aimed at removing tumors located in the mediastinum—the central compartment of the chest. This surgery is essential for treating benign or malignant growths, preventing complications, and ensuring an accurate diagnosis. Performed with precision, the procedure helps improve patient outcomes and forms an integral part of comprehensive thoracic cancer care.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Do You Have Questions?

    Below you'll find answers to the most common questions you may have on breast oncology.

    • What is thoracic cancer?

      Thoracic cancer refers to cancers that occur in the chest area, affecting organs such as the lungs, windpipe (trachea), and other structures within the thoracic cavity.

    • Who has the greatest chance of getting lung cancer?

      Older adults, especially those over 65, are at higher risk. Smoking is the leading cause—responsible for 80–90% of cases. Men, particularly Black men, face a greater risk, and heavy smokers are most vulnerable.

    • How can lung cancer be prevented?

      Quitting smoking is the most effective way to prevent lung cancer. Even after quitting, people with a history of smoking remain at higher risk. If you’ve quit within the last 15 years, you may qualify for lung cancer screening—early detection saves lives.

    • What are the early and common symptoms of lung cancer?

      • Ongoing fatigue – Feeling unusually tired or weak without a clear reason.
      • Unexplained weight loss – Losing weight without changes in diet or activity.
      • Shortness of breath – Struggling to breathe or getting winded easily during normal activities.
      • Chest discomfort or pain – A dull ache or sharp pain in the chest, especially when coughing or breathing deeply.
      • A persistent cough – A cough that doesn’t go away or gets worse over time.
        Coughing up blood or rust-colored sputum – Even small traces should be evaluated by a doctor.
    • Is lung cancer more common in men or women?

      Lung cancer has traditionally been more common in men, but the gap between men and women is quickly narrowing.

      • It is now the leading cause of cancer-related death in women, killing more women each year than breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers combined.
      • In 2024 alone, over 600,000 women worldwide died from lung cancer.
      • For perspective, three times as many men die from lung cancer than from prostate cancer.

      These trends highlight an urgent need for awareness, early detection, and screening in both men and women.

    • Is it possible to develop lung cancer without ever smoking?

      Yes — non-smokers can and do develop lung cancer.
      Several factors can contribute to lung cancer in non-smokers, including:

      • Environmental exposures like asbestos, radon gas, and air pollution
      • Genetic mutations and family history

      In many cases, the exact cause remains unclear, which is why it continues to be an area of active research.

      Lung cancer is not just a smoker’s disease — awareness, screening, and early detection matter for everyone.

    • What screening methods are available for lung cancer?

      The only approved screening for lung cancer is a low-dose CT scan.  It’s quick (under 5 minutes), painless, and uses less radiation than a standard CT. Before screening, a doctor will review your risk and explain the next steps. If results are positive, more tests and a specialist team may follow.

    • What treatments are available for different stages of lung cancer?

      Lung cancer treatment depends on the cancer’s stage, location, and the patient’s overall health.

      Options include:

      • Surgery: Common for early stages (I & II) to remove tumors and nearby lymph nodes.
      • Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells, especially when surgery isn’t possible.
      • Chemotherapy: Delivers cancer-fighting drugs throughout the body, often combined with other treatments.
      • Targeted Therapy: Precision medicine that attacks specific mutations in cancer cells.
      • Immunotherapy: Helps the immune system recognize and fight cancer, often used with chemo.

      Treatment plans are often personalized and may be combined with these approaches to improve outcomes.
