Conditions Affecting the Lungs

Common lung conditions:

  • Pneumonia: Infection causing inflammation of lung air sacs, often with fluid or pus, leading to cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.
  • Asthma: hronic condition where airways narrow and inflame, causing wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, often triggered by specific factors.
  • Tuberculosis (TB): Serious bacterial infection (primarily lungs) spread through air, causing cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Curable with antibiotics.
  • Emphysema: Chronic lung disease (type of COPD) with damaged and enlarged air sacs, hindering airflow and causing shortness of breath. Primarily caused by smoking.
  • Chest Infections: General term for infections of lungs or airways (like bronchitis, pneumonia), leading to cough, chest pain, and breathing difficulties.

Lung Cancer Care

Dignity Health's expert lung health team offers comprehensive and compassionate care for a full spectrum of lung cancer forms. We utilize advanced diagnostics and multidisciplinary treatment plans, covering everything from early detection to advanced care. We diagnose, manage, and treat with personalized plans, dedicated to improving your breathing and overall well-being. Our expertise includes:

  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): The most common type of lung cancer, often encompassing adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and large cell carcinomas.
  • Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC): An aggressive type of lung cancer that tends to grow and spread more quickly than NSCLC.
  • Carcinoid Tumors: A rare type of lung tumor that typically grows slowly and may not spread quickly.
  • Mesothelioma: A rare but aggressive cancer that primarily affects the lining of the lungs (pleura), often linked to asbestos exposure. (Please note: Treatment availability for Mesothelioma may vary by facility; consult with our team for specifics.)

Early Detection: The Power of Advanced Diagnostics in Lung Cancer

The challenge with lung cancer is its silent progression – symptoms often don't appear until later stages due to the lungs' low number of pain receptors. Early detection is critical, offering more treatment options and better success rates.

  • Silent Progression: Lungs have few pain receptors, delaying symptom onset.
  • Advanced Stage Risk: Pain usually indicates more advanced cancer.
  • Improved Outcomes: Early detection significantly expands personalized treatment options.
  • Our Commitment: Dignity Health prioritizes finding lung cancer as early as possible.
