Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer

A steadily increasing cough that lasts longer than two weeks and the cause of which is unclear, blood in the sputum or dark brown sputum, inexplicable weight loss and loss of appetite, hoarseness and difficulty swallowing are the main signs of lung cancer.Therapies, endobronchial laser, electrocautery, argon, cryotherapy and others, which are used in lung cancer, can only be practiced with straight bronchi, trachea and main bronchi. Therefore, only small parts of the tumor tissue that fill the interior of the straight bronchi are cleaned, thus opening the blockage in the bronchi. With resector balloon therapy, the inside of the bronchial tubes is cleaned all around at an angle of 360 °, thus achieving maximum opening of the airways. For maximum effect and to be able to prevent infections, stents should be used as little as possible in the case of bronchial blockages in lung cancer cases, whereby this goal is only possible with the use of resector balloon.In all of these types of treatment, technical competence plays a major role in terms of patient health. There are unfortunately only few Chest Physicians are experienced in both flexible and rigid bronchoscopy. Since some other endobronchial techniques require the use of rigid bronchoscopy, it should be confessed that the resector balloon method is an inspiration for the advancement of nearly 300,000 pulmonologists worldwide and an important opportunity to mitigate the harmful effects of lung cancer. Einstein says “Information comes from experience, information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience”. You can discuss one thing, but that will only give you a philosophical understanding. If there is one thing you want to know, you have to find it out.
