Lung Cancer Treatment by Mr Davide Patrini, Expert Thoracic Surgeon

Understanding Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. It occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can interfere with the lungs’ primary function of supplying oxygen to the body.

Comprehensive Lung Cancer Care

We offer a multidisciplinary approach to lung cancer treatment, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care. Our team includes thoracic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pulmonologists, and specialized nurses working together to develop and implement effective treatment plans.

Diagnostic Services

Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic services include:

  • Imaging Tests: CT scans, PET scans, and MRIs to visualize tumors and assess their size, location, and potential spread.
  • Biopsy Procedures: Techniques such as bronchoscopy, needle biopsy, and surgical biopsy to obtain tissue samples for pathological examination.
  • Molecular Testing: Analyzing genetic mutations and biomarkers to guide targeted therapy options.

Surgical Treatment Options

Surgery is often the primary treatment for early-stage lung cancer. Dr. [Name] is skilled in various surgical techniques, including:

  • Lobectomy: Removal of an entire lobe of the lung containing the tumor.
  • Pneumonectomy: Complete removal of one lung, typically in more advanced cases.
  • Segmentectomy or Wedge Resection: Removing a smaller portion of the lung, ideal for patients with limited lung function or small tumors.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Utilizing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted techniques for smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery.

Additional Treatment Modalities

Beyond surgery, lung cancer treatment may involve:

  • Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays to destroy cancer cells, often used in conjunction with surgery or for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
  • Chemotherapy: Powerful drugs to kill cancer cells, shrink tumors before surgery, or eliminate remaining cancer cells post-surgery.
  • Targeted Therapy: Medications designed to target specific genetic mutations in cancer cells, offering a more personalized treatment approach.
  • Immunotherapy: Harnessing the body’s immune system to fight cancer, showing promising results in many lung cancer patients.

Supportive Care and Rehabilitation

We understand that lung cancer treatment affects patients physically and emotionally. Our supportive care services include:

  • Pain Management: Expert pain control techniques to ensure comfort during treatment.
  • Nutritional Support: Dietary guidance to help maintain strength and energy levels.
  • Psychosocial Support: Counseling and support groups to address emotional and mental health needs.
  • Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Exercises and therapies to improve lung function and overall fitness.
