Lung cancer has become one of the most common cancers diagnosed throughout the world. Most of the patients diagnosed with this disease are either regular smokers or ex-smokers. Lung cancer affects both men and women equally, because women have been smoking as much as man for many years now.
Dr. Gil Lederman is an experienced doctor who has successfully treated various types of body tumors and cancers, using stereotactic radiosurgery. He was the first doctor in the US to perform this type of treatment.
Symptoms of lung cancer
· Chest infections
· Shortness of breath
· Unexplained weight loss
· Long term cough that just keeps on getting worse
· Wheezing or hoarseness
Causes
· Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer much more than the person who doesn’t smoke.
· Air pollution from vehicles and industries can play a significant role in development of this disease.
· Passive smoking is also a high risk factor for lung cancer.
· Radon gas is another known cause of this disease.
Treatment
Treatments for lung cancers include; surgery, chemotherapy, and radiosurgery. Patients that cannot undergo a surgery may require special treatment called stereotactic radio surgery. It is not a surgical procedure, but a high dose of radiation is used to treat the cancer. A Dose of radiation is also given to prevent the lung cancer from developing in the brain.
This safe and painless treatment is considered ideal for treating lung disease under many circumstances.
