Lung Biopsy
A Lung Biopsy is an interventional procedure employed to diagnose lung conditions by extracting a small lung tissue sample for microscopic examination. In addition to assessing cellular morphology, special stains and cultures are often performed on the obtained tissue to identify the presence of lung diseases or cancer.
Symptoms
Indications of lung cancer can encompass:
- Persistent, unrelenting cough
- Coughing up blood, even in small quantities
- Difficulty breathing
- Chest pain
- Hoarseness
- Unexplained weight loss
- Bone pain
- Headaches
When to access Medical Care
When there’s anomalous tissue near the chest wall, a specialist may conduct a needle biopsy to gather samples. This procedure doesn’t necessitate general anesthesia or a hospital stay.
Determinants of risk
Risk factors contributing to lung cancer include:
Smoking: The risk rises with the number of cigarettes smoked daily and the duration of smoking. Quitting at any age substantially reduces the risk.
Exposure to Secondhand Smoke: Non-smokers face an increased risk if exposed to secondhand smoke.
Previous Radiation Therapy: Chest radiation for another cancer type may elevate the risk of lung cancer.
Exposure to Radon Gas: Radon, a natural byproduct, can accumulate in buildings, including homes, posing a risk.
Exposure to Carcinogens: Workplace exposure to asbestos, arsenic, chromium, nickel, and other cancer-causing substances heightens the risk, especially for smokers.
Family History: Individuals with a parent, sibling, or child with lung cancer have an elevated risk.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
