Conditions We Treat / Services We Offer
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a type of cancer that starts when abnormal cells grow in an uncontrolled way in the lungs. It is an alarming health issue that can cause severe harm and death. The types of lung cancer that have become quite common are non-small cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. NSCLC is more common and grows slowly, while SCLC is less common but often grows quickly.
Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is a growth of cells that starts in the esophagus. It is a long, hollow tube that runs from the throat to the stomach and helps move swallowed food from the back of the throat to the stomach to be digested. Esophageal cancer usually begins in the cells that are present inside of the esophagus. It is more common in men.
Mediastinal tumors
Mediastinal tumors are growths in the mediastinum, i.e., the area in the middle of the chest that separates the lungs. These tumors can be non-cancerous or cancerous and can be classified based on their location within the mediastinum. It could be present in the anterior, middle, or posterior region.
Complications of TB
Tuberculosis , commonly known as TB is an infectious disease primarily affecting the lungs, which might spread to other parts of the body too. It is caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
Coughing Out Blood
The medical term for coughing out blood is Hemoptysis , that refers to blood or blood-stained mucus from the respiratory tract while coughing. It can be small streaks of blood in sputum or large and concerning amounts of blood. Immediate medical attention is necessary if there is a significant amount of blood, difficulty breathing, and if the person is experiencing chest pain.
Pneumothorax
A pneumothorax is a collapsed lung. A pneumothorax occurs when there are leaks of air into the space between your lung and chest wall. This air pushes on the outside of your lung and makes it collapse. A pneumothorax can be a complete lung collapse or a collapse of only a certain portion of the lung.
Lung Cysts
Cysts in the lungs are called pulmonary cysts. Like other cysts that are usually fluid, these cysts usually contain gas. They can affect breathing. They often develop with age but may also indicate an underlying medical condition. Lung cysts have many potential causes and can cause severe complications if untreated.
Lung Abscess
A lung abscess is a pus-filled cavity in the lung surrounded by inflamed tissue and caused by an infection. It is usually caused by bacteria that lives in the mouth and get inhaled into the lungs. The diagnosis is usually determined with a chest x-ray.
