The Impact of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma on Patients
Lung squamous cell carcinoma is a type of non-small cell lung cancer that accounts for around 25-30% of all lung cancer cases. It typically originates in the bronchial tubes and is most commonly linked to smoking or exposure to carcinogens. At Neumark Surgery, we understand the challenges faced by patients diagnosed with lung squamous cell carcinoma and offer comprehensive care and treatment options.
Understanding Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Lung squamous cell carcinoma is characterized by the abnormal growth of squamous cells in the lining of the bronchial tubes. These cells can form tumors that obstruct the airways, leading to symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, wheezing, and coughing up blood. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment.
Treatment Options at Neumark Surgery
Our team of experienced doctors, medical professionals, and plastic surgeons at Neumark Surgery specialize in providing personalized treatment plans for patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma. Depending on the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health, treatment options may include:
- Surgery: Surgical resection of the tumor may be recommended for early-stage lung squamous cell carcinoma to remove the cancerous tissue and prevent its spread.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs may be used to target and destroy cancer cells, either alone or in combination with other treatments.
- Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation beams are directed at the cancerous cells to shrink tumors and alleviate symptoms.
- Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy drugs can boost the body's immune system to target and fight cancer cells more effectively.
