Top Lung Cancer Treatment Hospital in Mumbai, India – Kokilaben Hospital

Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. It most often occurs in people who smoke. As lung cancer grows, abnormal cells can form tumours and interfere with the functioning of the lung, which provides oxygen to the body via blood.

Warning Signs

The associated symptoms of lung cancer include:

• Persistent cough
• Blood in sputum (spit or phlegm)
• Shortness of breath—either on exertion or at rest
• Chest pain
• Change in voice

Risk Factor 

• Tobacco smoking (causes 60-65 per cent of lung cancers)
• Exposure to second-hand or passive smoking
• Exposure to radon gas, asbestos, and other carcinogens
• Family history of lung cancer

50 per cent of surgeries for lung cancer at Kokilaben Hospital are done using Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). VATS is a keyhole surgery that reduces postoperative pain, aids in early recovery, avoid prominent scars and reduces the length of hospital stay.
