Lung Cancer : Causes, Treatment & Myths | Dr. Madhu Sai Ram | GEM Cancer Centre @GEMCancerCentre

Dr. Madhu Sai Ram from GEM Cancer Centre engages in a powerful and insightful conversation with Keerthana on the rising challenges and realities of lung cancer. The discussion sheds light on the major causes of lung cancer, how even non-smokers can be at risk, and the profound impact smoking has on both physical and mental health. Dr. Madhu clearly explains how lung infections develop due to cancer, the importance of early detection, and why biopsy plays a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis. The episode also breaks down treatment options in an easy-to-understand manner—covering the difference between chemotherapy and radiotherapy, why chemotherapy leads to hair fall, and how small-cell lung cancer is treated. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on how the stage of cancer guides the treatment plan and addresses a common concern: Can Stage 4 lung cancer be cured? The podcast also explores when surgery becomes necessary, the effects of chemotherapy, and the vital role of palliative care in enhancing a patient’s quality of life. Dr. Madhu highlights how GEM Cancer Centre combines advanced medical treatments with emotional support, ensuring compassionate, holistic care for every patient and their family. 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Lung cancer 02:45 Causes of Lung Cancer 03:42 Average age for lung cancer 04:30 How Non-smokers are also affected by lung cancer 08:10 Smoking is injurious to health 10:51 Infection caused in the lungs due to Lung cancer 12:20 Smoking affects mental health 14:15 Treatment procedure for lung cancer in GEM Cancer Centre 15:35 Biopsy test 16:30 Treatment procedures 20:34 Small cell cancer 23:00 Surgery for cancer 25:00 Difference between chemotherapy and radiotherapy 26:53 Why does hair fall occur during chemotherapy treatment 27:22 Effects of chemotherapy treatment 29:32 The Stages of cancer will decide on treatment 32:08 Stage 4 cancer can be cured? 36:24 How GCC is building the Emotional well-being of patients and advanced treatment, bridging the gap 40:53 Palliative care 44:26 What is the Quality of life of patients 49:38 1 cigarette per day will reduce risk? 51:11 Statistics of Genz smoking 53:45 Conclusion #LungCancerAwareness #GEMCancerCentre #CancerEducation #LungHealth #QuitSmoking #NonSmokersRisk #CancerTreatment #Chemotherapy #Radiotherapy #BiopsyTest #SmallCellLungCancer #CancerStages #CancerCare #PalliativeCare #OncologyPodcast #EmotionalWellbeing #CancerSupport #RJKeerthana #DrMadhuSaiRam #HealthcarePodcast #CancerRecovery #CancerPrevention #FightCancer #HopeAndHealing #YouTube #Trending #Viral #NewVideo #Explore #Health #Wellness #HealthTips #HealthAwareness #MedicalEducation #Healthcare #PatientCare #CancerAwareness #LungCancerAwareness #Cancer #Oncology #Chemo #CancerTreatment #HealthAndWellness #SupportPatients #FightCancer #Survivor #CancerWarrior #LungCancer #LungCancerTreatment
