Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs, which are two spongy organs in chest that take in oxygen when a person inhale and release carbon dioxide when a person exhale. It is one of the most common cancers in the world and is a leading cause of cancer deaths.
Lung cancer surgery is a medical procedure performed to remove a tumor or a portion of the lung affected by cancer. The type of surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor in the lung, the type of lung cancer (non-small cell or small cell lung cancer), and the patient's overall health. There are several types of lung cancer surgeries such as lobectomy, segmentectomy, etc. Lung cancer surgery stands as a pivotal approach to treating this aggressive disease. By surgically removing affected lung tissue, medical professionals can target localized tumors, offering a chance for effective treatment and the potential cure. The procedure’s success relies on early detection, accurate staging, and the patient’s overall health. From traditional open surgeries to minimally invasive techniques like VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery), lung cancer surgery has evolved to minimize trauma and enhance recovery. It remains a crucial component in the multidisciplinary battle against lung cancer.
