Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a disease in which a malignant tumour is formed from cells lining the inner surface of the lung and bronchi. Despite the achievements of modern medicine, this disease remains deadly. Oncologists claim that lung cancer is one of the most insidious pathologies. Doctors can often detect pathology in men. The disease develops slowly and symptoms are absent at the initial stage. Often, patients go to the doctor too late when they are no longer able to help. Therefore, preventive examinations play an important role in the fight against the disease, which makes it possible to identify the tumour promptly, save a person’s life and health.

It is worth noting that the leading Israeli clinic Tel Aviv Medical Clinic employs experienced specialists who are engaged in the treatment of lung cancer. We use modern equipment and unique treatments. The rooms in our department are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay of patients. The clinic set prices as in a state hospital. This will be a pleasant surprise for our customers. If necessary, our staff will help contact charitable foundations to raise funds for treatment.

Symptomatology

If you notice the following signs of the disease, you need to seek qualified help:

• Chest pain;
• Difficulty breathing;
• Swallow voice;
• Cough, sometimes with an admixture of blood;
• Difficult act of swallowing;
• Loss of body weight.

A qualified specialist will conduct the necessary examination and select the optimal therapy scheme.

Diagnostics

For the subsequent choice of treatment tactics, estimating the extent of cancer prevalence plays an important role. We conduct a comprehensive survey using laboratory and instrumental methods, such as:

• Puncture biopsy under CT control;
• Bronchoscopy;
• Investigation of metastatic node material;
• Radiography;
• Bone mass scanning;
• MRI;
• PET/CT. 

Based on the data obtained, the doctor selects a treatment regimen.

Treatment

The treatment of patients in the clinic includes all the methods adopted in modern clinical oncology: surgical, radiation, chemotherapeutic and their various combinations called a combination method. In the case of lung cancer, radiation therapy is used for a therapeutic purpose or to relieve symptoms, since radiation in a short time reduces bone pain, haemorrhage and upper vein compression syndrome. This procedure is also performed if the tumour is inoperable for objective medical reasons, for example, due to poor lung function.
