Today we are talking about the most common type of cancer found in men, lung cancer. The disease is all the more serious as it is discovered, usually in advanced stages. He tells us why this happens and what the diagnostic and treatment solutions are Dr. Daniela Nica, internal medicine specialist.
In the early stages of lung cancer, clinical manifestations may be absent. With the evolution of the disease, signs related to the pulmonary location of the tumor may appear, but sometimes the first signs of the paraneoplastic syndrome appear, characterized by fever, loss of appetite, altered taste, unintentional weight loss and coagulation disorders. It is only in the advanced stages that the persistent cough, sometimes with blood, the sensation of suffocation upon exertion or even breathing and chest pain are felt.
Surgery for lung cancer is the main method of treatment with a curative purpose, but the approach to cases is always multimodal, personalized, the multidisciplinary oncological committee (Tumor Board) being the one that establishes the optimal therapeutic sequence for each individual patient.
