Lung Cancer

People often ask whether lung cancer causes pain, and if it does, where you would actually feel it.

Large cell lung cancer is a less common type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It can also be more aggressive than some other subtypes.

If a scan shows a lung nodule, it is completely normal to feel anxious. Most people hear the word “nodule” and their brain goes straight to the worst-case scenario.

Most people automatically think of “early lung cancer symptoms” the moment something feels a bit off. A cough that will not shift. Breathlessness that wasn’t there even just a few weeks ago. A chest infection that keeps coming back.

If you’ve been told your lung cancer radiotherapy won’t start immediately, don’t worry - that time is being used to personalise your treatment for maximum effectiveness and safety. Learn why planning is essential and how it directly improves outcomes.

Radiotherapy for lung cancer offers remarkable hope and healing possibilities that were unimaginable just decades ago.

Lung cancer treatment has been transformed by innovations like stereotactic radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. In this post, Dr James Wilson shares real-life success stories from his clinic and explains how treatment is now more effective, personalised, and focused on cure, control, and quality of life.

Pleural effusion occurs when cancer causes fluid to build up around the lungs, making it harder to breathe. The good news? It can be drained quickly, and most people feel significantly better within hours. Learn which cancers cause this, how it happens, and what treatment options work fastest.

If just one or two areas of your stage 4 cancer are growing while the rest stays stable, you may be experiencing oligoprogressive disease. Stereotactic radiotherapy is a highly precise local therapy that can target these lesions while keeping you on your current systemic treatment. This personalised approach can be used in lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers to delay switching therapies.

Lung cancer develops when abnormal cells in the lungs begin to multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumour that can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.

Ultra-processed foods increase your lung cancer risk by 41%, according to new research. But a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods offers powerful protection. Learn which foods to avoid, what to eat instead, and evidence-based steps to reduce your cancer risk.
