TAILIEUCHUNG - Living With Lung Cancer - Patient Education Guide

What everybody wants to know, of course, is how insights from physics might translate into effective therapies that can kill cancer cells (figure 3). Most existing cancer treatments involve trying to remove a tumour surgically or destroying it with radiation, cou- pled with chemotherapy in which a variety of drug regimes try to stymie cell division, block problematic gene pathways or retard angiogenesis. Although drug design is informed by an understanding of molecular and cell biology, it is still something of an art, depend- ent on long and costly clinical trials. Indeed, oncolo- gists are often in the dark about why certain drugs actually work, or why normal dose–response relation- ships do not. | Living With Lung Cancer Patient Education Guide AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CHEST PHYSICIANS Your doctor has just told you that you have lung cancer. Even if you thought that you might have something seriously wrong those words probably made you feel as if the floor dropped away beneath your feet. You don t want to believe this terrible news. You wonder how this could have happened to you. Maybe you had some symptoms such as pneumonia that seemed to keep coming back. Or it seemed as if you were always taking antibiotics. Maybe you were coughing a lot. Sometimes there was blood in your sputum. Maybe you just felt tired or you got out of breath walking your dog. Maybe you had no symptoms at all. Maybe you were having your regular checkup and your doctor thought your lungs sounded different than usual. No matter how the diagnosis came about it is shocking and not something anyone wants to hear. One of the first things that happens when cancer is suspected is that you will be meeting with many different types of doctors. Each one specializes in a certain aspect of cancer diagnosis or treatment. Your primary care doctor may refer you to a pulmonologist for your diagnosis. A pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the lungs but not necessarily the treatment of cancer. You may need tests done by a pulmonologist a radiologist a surgeon and a pathologist to actually make the diagnosis. Some lung cancers can be removed by surgery. If you are one of the people with operable lung cancer you will be referred to a thoracic chest surgeon. Other specialists who treat cancer are the medical and radiation oncologists. A medical oncologist treats cancer with chemotherapy. A radiation oncologist treats cancer with radiation. Often the treatment uses several of these approaches. The different doctors will work together to treat you in the best possible way. While all this may seem very confusing in a short period of time you will learn a great deal about lung cancer .
