Lung cancer is one of the most common and misunderstood types of cancer. Myths and misconceptions often lead to fear, stigma, and delayed diagnosis. At Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics, under the expert guidance of Dr. Mangesh Kamath, we strive to spread awareness, debunk myths, and provide advanced care for lung cancer patients.

Myth 1: Only Smokers Get Lung Cancer

Reality: While smoking is a significant risk factor, non-smokers can also develop lung cancer. Exposure to environmental pollutants, second-hand smoke, genetic factors, and occupational hazards like asbestos can contribute to the disease. Dr. Mangesh Kamath and his team at Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics emphasize early screening for high-risk individuals, regardless of smoking history.

Myth 2: Lung Cancer is Always Fatal

Reality: Advances in medical technology and personalized treatment approaches have significantly improved survival rates. Early detection, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and advanced surgical procedures have led to better outcomes. At Healius, Dr. Mangesh Kamath leads a multidisciplinary team offering state-of-the-art treatments tailored to each patient’s condition.

Myth 3: If You Have No Symptoms, You Don’t Have Lung Cancer

Reality: Lung cancer can remain asymptomatic in its early stages. Symptoms like persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue often appear in later stages. This is why routine screenings, especially for high-risk individuals, are crucial. Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics offer comprehensive screening programs to ensure early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Myth 4: Lung Cancer Cannot Be Treated Effectively

Reality: With the latest advancements in cancer treatment, lung cancer is treatable and manageable. Healius Cancer & Hematology Clinics provide cutting-edge treatments, including:

• Targeted Therapy – Personalized treatment based on genetic mutations.
• Immunotherapy – Boosting the immune system to fight cancer cells.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery – Reducing recovery time and complications.
• Radiation and Chemotherapy – For both early and advanced-stage lung cancer.

Myth 5: Lung Cancer Treatment is the Same for Everyone

Reality: No two lung cancer cases are the same. Each patient requires a personalized treatment plan, which is why Dr. Mangesh Kamath and his team focus on precision oncology. At Healius, we use genetic profiling and advanced diagnostic tools to create customized treatment strategies that yield the best results for every individual.
