Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs begin growing uncontrollably. It is one of the most common respiratory cancers worldwide and can affect both smokers and non-smokers.
When detected early, treatment options are often more effective and may offer significantly better outcomes. This is why persistent respiratory symptoms should never be ignored.
At Healthy Chest & Sleep Clinic, Dr. Vishal Sharma provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and management guidance for patients with suspected or confirmed lung cancer.

You should consult a pulmonologist if you experience any of the following. Many of these symptoms can occur due to conditions other than cancer, which is why specialist evaluation is essential.
A cough lasting several weeks
Coughing up blood-stained phlegm
Losing weight without trying
Increasing difficulty breathing
Persistent discomfort in the chest
A change in the sound of your voice
Infections that keep coming back
An abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan
Certain factors can increase the risk of lung cancer. However, lung cancer can also occur in individuals with no history of smoking.
Current or previous smoking history.
Exposure to second-hand smoke.
Ongoing exposure to polluted air.
Workplace contact with chemicals or dust.
A family history of lung cancer.
Long-standing respiratory conditions.
