Understanding Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer worldwide. It begins in the lungs and can spread to other parts of the body. At Jain Oncology, we use a multidisciplinary approach combining the latest in molecular-targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and traditional treatments. Our team works closely with pulmonologists and radiation oncologists to create personalised treatment plans that maximise outcomes while maintaining quality of life.
Diagnosis & Staging
Precise diagnosis through advanced imaging and molecular profiling guides every treatment decision
Clinical Assessment
Comprehensive history, physical exam, and pulmonary function tests to evaluate respiratory health and overall fitness for treatment.
Advanced Imaging
Low-dose CT screening, PET-CT scan, and brain MRI to accurately determine tumour size, location, and spread to lymph nodes or distant organs.
Biopsy & Pathology
CT-guided needle biopsy or bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to obtain tissue. Pathology determines NSCLC vs SCLC subtype.
Molecular & Biomarker Testing
Comprehensive genomic profiling for EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, KRAS, MET, RET, NTRK mutations, and PD-L1 expression to guide targeted therapy selection.
Symptoms to Watch
Persistent cough that worsens over time or doesn't go away
Coughing up blood or rust-coloured sputum
Chest pain that worsens with deep breathing, coughing, or laughing
Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and loss of appetite
Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness
Recurrent respiratory infections such as bronchitis or pneumonia
Risk Factors
Smoking and tobacco use (responsible for ~85% of lung cancers)
Exposure to secondhand smoke over prolonged periods
Radon gas exposure at home or workplace
Occupational exposure to asbestos, arsenic, diesel exhaust, or silica
Family history of lung cancer
Previous radiation therapy to the chest area
Treatment Approaches at Jain Oncology
Every treatment plan is tailored to your tumour biology, stage, and personal preferences.
Surgery
Removing the Tumour Safely
- Removal of the affected part of the lung (most common approach)
- Smaller surgeries available for early-stage or small tumours
- Keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery for faster recovery
- Checking nearby lymph nodes to determine cancer stage
- Coordinated planning with specialists for the best outcome
💡 Our team works with expert thoracic surgeons to plan the safest and most effective surgical approach for each patient.
Chemotherapy
Medicines to Fight Cancer
- Drug combinations chosen based on your specific lung cancer type
- Given before surgery to shrink tumours for easier removal
- Given after surgery to reduce the chance of cancer returning
- Often combined with immunotherapy for better results
- Regular scans and blood tests to monitor progress
💡 Treatment is tailored to your cancer type and overall health, aiming for the best results with the fewest side effects.
Radiation Therapy
Targeted Energy Treatment
- Highly precise radiation for patients who can't have surgery
- Combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced cases
- Advanced techniques that protect healthy lung tissue
- Short treatment courses (as few as 3–5 sessions) available
- Helps relieve symptoms in advanced disease
💡 Precise radiation can deliver cure-equivalent results for early-stage patients who cannot undergo surgery.
Targeted Therapy
Precision Medicines for Your Cancer
- Drugs that attack specific changes (mutations) in your cancer cells
- Genetic testing identifies the best targeted medicine for you
- Often taken as daily pills with fewer side effects than chemo
- Available for many types of lung cancer mutations
- Newer medicines available if the first treatment stops working
💡 Genetic testing allows us to match most patients with a targeted medicine, often with better results than chemotherapy alone.
Immunotherapy
Boosting Your Body's Defence
- Helps your immune system recognise and fight lung cancer cells
- Can be used alone or combined with chemotherapy
- Testing done to check if you're a good candidate
- Now a standard part of treatment for many advanced lung cancers
- Some patients achieve long-lasting disease control
💡 Immunotherapy has transformed lung cancer treatment, helping some advanced-stage patients live much longer.
Supportive & Palliative Care
Improving Your Quality of Life
- Breathing exercises and rehabilitation to improve lung function
- Help with quitting smoking for better treatment outcomes
- Pain management and symptom control throughout treatment
- Nutritional guidance to maintain strength during therapy
- Emotional support for patients and families
💡 Starting supportive care early alongside treatment has been shown to improve both quality of life and outcomes.

Emotional & Family Support
We connect you with counsellors who specialise in cancer care. Family meetings help loved ones understand the treatment journey and provide effective support.
Survivorship & Monitoring
After treatment, we create a long-term surveillance plan with regular CT scans, pulmonary function tests, and wellness check-ups to ensure continued health.
