Several other diagnostic methods are being performed at many hospitals lung cancer cells found in the sputum (mucus and pus from his bronchial tubes) will indicate to doctor the nature of a lesion seen on X-ray but not clearly defined as cancer. This method is an adaptation of the pap test (mucus and it bit of tissue scraped from the cervix for examination under a microscope) which has proved to be of much value in early diagnosis of uterine cervical cancer. 

A new instrument called the fiber optic bronchoscope also is being used to help in locating and biopsying suspicious areas. The bronchoscope is a thin. Flexible tube which is threaded into the larger branches of lungs airways. By means of a viewer that resembles a tiny television screen, your physician can check all sections of your lung. This instruments helps to identify most ( if not all ) sites that may be cancerous.

Mediastinoscopy and mediastonomy are sometimes used to determine whether the suspected disease is cancer and has spread to the central areas of the chest (mediastinum). In the former procedure a viewing instrument is introduce into this area while in the latter procedure a surgical exploration is performed. These are relatively simple procedures. When simpler diagnostic techniques have not conclusively revealed the nature of a suspicious area in the lung, your physician may prescribe an exploratory chest operation called a thoracotomy.
               
TYPES OF LUNG CANCER
Chronic Leukaemia comes on slowly and without warning signs. Many cases are discoverd during routine blood test, but significant signs and symptoms may not appear or several years when they develop, signs and symptoms resemble those of the acute forms of disease : fatigue, tendency to bruise and bleed. easily, and increased susceptibility to infection. The physician can often feel an enlarged spleen or lymph nodes.
TREATMENT
Your medical history your general health the type and location of the cancer or cancers and many other factors are considered in determining the treatment needed. Your treatment must be tailored to your individual needs.

Treatment of lung cancer may take several form Surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy-often in combination depending on your needs.

Surgery is the most common treatment for cancers that are small, slow growing and have neither invaded nearby tissue nor metastasized (spread). Your surgeon must determine how much of your lung to remove, and if it is necessary to include nearby lymph nodes (bean shaped structures in the lymphatic system).

In recent years advances in surgical techniques and medical care have made extensive surgery possible for persons previously considered too old or infirm for this treatment. Today surgeons have the help of highly competent teams of nurses, therapists, technicians and other professionals to support patients throughout their post-operative period.

Following such an operation you should have regularly medical checkups to watch for recurrence, metastasis or a second tumor elsewhere in your lung. If you were a smoker you must stop smoking.

Treatment by radiation therapy may be used in combination with surgery. It is given either before or after your operation. Radiation therapy may be administered in a number of ways.

The basic principle of radiation therapy is to focus the beam of radiation on the cancer at doses that will destroy the cancer with minimal damage to surrounding normal tissue. Radiation therapy uses X-rays. Cobalt or other sources of ionizing radiation for destruction of the cancer.

If you have widely spread lung cancer treatment with anticancer drugs is chosen. Radiation therapy is kept in reserve as a palliative measure. Such palliative radiation therapy can greatly improve your quality of life by relieving distressing symptoms, such as severe cough, pain, shortness of breath or difficulty in swallowing.

Chemotherapy (treatment with anticancer drug) is available to your physician in treating lung cancer. Anticancer drugs kill cancer cells because the drugs can act on normal cells as well as cancerous ones. Your physician must maintain a e balance of enough drugs to kill cancer cells without destroying too many healthy cells.

Some anticancer drugs make you feel sick temporarily, but your doctor tries to work out a treatment schedule that disrupts your daily routine as little as possible. The length and frequency of chemotherapy depend upon a number of factors. These includes your type of cancer, the type of anticancer drugs prescribed, how long it takes you to respond to these drugs, and how well you tolerate side effect of the drugs. Most chemotherapy programs are carried out in the outpatients department of a hospital. However, sometimes short period of hospitalization may be necessary in order to monitor the drug treatment very closely.      

AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF SOCIETY
i) To help (Physically & Financially) Cancer Patients who is belonging to very poor family.
