Lung cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer & leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It accounts for 5.9% of all cancers and 8.1% of all cancer-related deaths in our country. Around 80% of these are tobacco smokers. Even if you haven’t smoked a cigarette, there are other important risk factors like family history of the disease, exposure to second-hand smoke, carcinogens such as asbestos, radon, arsenic and even air pollution. If you experience persistent breathlessness, recurring chest infections, unexplained loss of appetite or weight & coughing up blood, you must reach out to your pulmonologist at the earliest for evaluation.  Research has shown that lung cancer screening can catch tumors when they’re curable.

Cigarette smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Youths are getting addicted to tobacco or smoking as early as 16-17 years of age, getting influenced by film stars or by their peer group. Even secondhand smoke/passive smoking affects all children at home, predisposing them to lung cancer. Youth should be sensitized towards the ill effects of tobacco and should be engaged in productive work for the nation. Strict law enforcement to curb tobacco use/sale is the need of the hour.

Environmental pollution also adds to this cause. Healthy youth is the future of any nation.

The risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. Although not everyone who smokes will get lung cancer, smoking dramatically increases the risk. Your body can repair a large portion of the harm caused by the toxins in cigarette smoke after you stop. Roughly 10–15 percent of lung cancer patients have no smoking history. Some factors, besides smoking, that may increase your risk of lung cancer include genetics, exposure to substances like arsenic, diesel exhaust, and some silica and chromium, an improper diet, and air pollution.

The nicotine in the e-cigarettes gets them addicted at an early age, and once that happens, there is no turning back. Whether its hookah, sheesha, or E cigarettes, tobacco is tobacco, and the less you smoke, the safer you are.

Dr. Shivakumar Uppala,

MBBS, MS, MCH (Surgical Oncology) FAIS, FMAS Consultant Surgical Oncologist AND Medical Director Trust in Hospital and Norgh Bangalore Hospital, Bangalore Smoking is the single most important risk factor that causes lung cancer. With advancements in treatment for lung cancer, most early lung cancers can be cured with surgery. Robotic surgery allows us to perform the most complex surgeries with greater ease, faster post-operative recovery, and fewer complications. Young people should be aware of the side effects of smoking, and the most important thing is that people think smokeless tobacco has no risk of cancer. In truth, smokeless tobacco is equal to other forms of tobacco with respect to lung cancer risk. We need to educate young people about not taking up cigarette smoking and avoiding all forms of tobacco to keep their lung health in check.

Dr. Jojo V Joseph,

MS (Surgery), MCh (oncosurgery),

Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist – Caritas Cancer Institute Kottayam & Indiragandhi co op Hospital, Kochi.

Passive smoking (breathing the smoke coming out of a smoker) and atmospheric pollution, especially vehicle exhaust and industrial pollution, are the main causes of lung cancer in nonsmokers in India. Inhalation of smoke coming out of burning plastic openly is another common cause of lung cancer in non-smokers in India. Banning tobacco and minimizing atmospheric pollution are the keys to stopping lung cancer deaths in India. Let’s all join together to fight for a smoke-free and pollution-free India. This should begin with our own home.

Dr. Bharat Ashok Vaswani,

MD, DM, MRCP-UK (Medical Oncology), ECMO,

PDCR Senior Medical Oncologist and Hematologist -Yashoda Hospital, Secunderabad.

Lung cancer, particularly in young people, is on the rise; females have more cancers at a younger age than males, which is partly due to smoking, but the main reason is a change in genomics, specifically the presence of some driver mutations in females. The three most common driver mutations causing lung cancer are EGFR, ALK, and ROS amplification. The clinical part of it is that nowadays we have so many effective targeted new treatments based on these molecular alterations, which help increase the lifespan and improve the quality of life for these cancer patients.
