Testimonial by Mrs. Rajasree Ghosh

A chest tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue within the chest cavity, including the lungs, pleura, mediastinum, chest wall, and diaphragm. Common causes include lung cancer, mesothelioma, thymomas, lymphomas, metastatic tumors, and benign tumors. Symptoms include persistent cough, chest pain, dyspnea, wheezing, hoarseness, weight loss, fatigue, and recurrent respiratory infections. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of imaging studies, bronchoscopy, and biopsy. Initial imaging tests reveal abnormalities, while CT scans provide detailed images. MRI is used in specific cases. Bronchoscopy allows visualization of the tumor, while biopsy is essential for a definitive diagnosis and histological examination.

Chest tumor treatment varies based on the tumor type, stage, and patient’s health. Options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Mesothelioma is treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Thyomas are typically surgically resected, with radiation therapy added for advanced stages. Lymphomas are managed with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination. Benign chest tumors may require observation or surgical removal. The treatment plan is determined by a multidisciplinary team to optimize outcomes and minimize side effects.

Mrs. Rajasree Ghosh from Assam successfully underwent surgery for Chest Tumor Removal at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Belgundi Preeti Vidyasagar, Consultant Interventional Pulmonologist.
