Lung cancer accounts for 15% of cases in Telangana

Hyderabad: Lung cancer is at the fourth point after breast cancer, head and neck, and cervix in the state.
From around 45,000 new cases of cancer detected every year in Telangana, lung cancer accounts for around 5000-6000 patients.
Overall, the current lung cancer contributes 15% of cancer cases found in the state.
Smoking and alcohol are the most common causes, say doctors.
While lung cancer is the main cause of mortality among men in Hyderabad according to previous research, the incident also grew among urban women because of the increase in smoking habits.
Also, the survival rate is only around 15%, which is largely due to the pending filtering and misdiagnosis of lung cancer in the early stages.
A previous study of lung cancer patients carried out in private tertiary care centers in Hyderabad (study name: Clinisopathological profile of lung cancer in the tertiary maintenance center) found that 49.1% of patients in this study (out of a total of 466 cancer patients The lungs) are among the age group 40-60.
This shows that the increase in smoking and exposure to carcinogens influenced the younger generation faster in the city, the research said.
