Overview
Lung cancer is strongly linked to smoking but also affects non-smokers. Early diagnosis greatly improves outcomes. We provide prompt evaluation, biopsy, staging and a coordinated treatment plan through our tumour board.
Symptoms to watch for
- A cough that does not go away or worsens
- Coughing up blood or rust-coloured sputum
- Chest pain that worsens with breathing
- Shortness of breath or wheezing
- Repeated chest infections or hoarseness
How it is diagnosed
- Chest X-ray and CT scan
- Bronchoscopy or CT-guided biopsy
- PET-CT for staging
- Pulmonary function tests
Treatment options
- Surgical removal for early-stage tumours
- Chemotherapy and targeted therapy
- Radiation therapy via partner centres
- Immunotherapy for selected patients
- Palliative care to control symptoms
Frequently asked questions
Can non-smokers get lung cancer?
Yes. Air pollution, passive smoking and other factors mean non-smokers can also develop lung cancer, so persistent symptoms should always be checked.
