CHEST DISEASES
This department uses various techniques to diagnose and treat important chest patients such as lung cancer, asthma, koah, bronchitis, fluid accumulation in the lung membrane, pneumonia and lung extinction.

Lung cancer

Lung cancer is a lung disease that is closely related to smoking and is also closely related to genetic factors. As a result of the effects that cause mutation in lung cells, the cancer will spread to some or half of the lung.

Important symptoms of lung cancer are fever, fatigue, persistent fatigue and weight loss. During cough, blood in the form of strips on sputum is considered to be an important symptom of lung cancer. However, it is also possible that this type of cancer does not give long-term symptoms.
Lung biopsy is performed to investigate the benign or malignant characteristics of this part, which is generally seen as shady in chest X-ray. At the same time, the color lung film called x-ray technique is taken with.

Treatment of Lung Cancer
After the diagnosis of the disease, the most common treatment method is chemotherapy. The main disadvantage of this technique, which is also used in the treatment of lung cancer and other cancers, is that it causes some damage to healthy cells as well as cancerous cells.
During treatment, the patient's blood values should be checked frequently to make arrangements with various supplements. Blood values largely determine the patient's overall health status. Oxygen administration to the patient during the treatment of cancer may be one of the relaxing methods.

As a side effect of chemotherapy treatment, intense hiccups, fever, stomach and hair loss are seen. Therefore, in order not to decrease the quality of life in people who have come to the last stage of cancer, whether or not to be decided should be decided in a healthy way.

Surgical Intervention in Lung Cancer
Surgical intervention is another method used in the treatment of lung tumors. The fact that cancer is seen in only a small part of the lung is an important basis for this treatment. Tumor tissue can be easily removed from the lung. In addition to this treatment, radiotherapy may be applied.

Radiotherapy Technique
Since the lung is the area where the blood is cleansed, it is known that the most common types of cancer, along with lung cancer, are lymphatic cancer and brain tumors.

Therefore, in the treatment of lung cancer, radiation is sent to the brain in order to protect the brain, so radiotherapy is a technique that is quite frequently used.

Targeted Lung Cancer Treatment
Treatment techniques for lung cancer also include targeted treatment techniques. This technique is promising to ensure the inactivation of the genes that make up the cancer, to reverse the cancer, and to prevent it from occurring again.

Lung cancer may be painful in some people, but some people may not experience pain.

What is COPD?
COPD disease means the obstruction of bronchi, the smallest unit of the lung, for a variety of reasons. Smoking is also the most important cause of this disease.
Inhalation of various dyes used in the profession or exposure to certain chemicals may also be a cause for COPD. COPD is a progressive disease and because it is not reversible, a person suffering from this disease must be kept under constant surveillance.
As the capacity of lung will decrease day by day, treatment will be aimed at increasing the quality of life.


How is COPD diagnosed?
Since the diagnosis of COPD is a simple disease and does not require a biopsy as in lung cancer, it is recommended that people with shortness of breath should immediately check with the doctor instead of avoiding the source of the problem. Breathing apparatus is used in the diagnosis of COPD. The person is asked to give back the breath he breathes deeply. The lung capacity is calculated according to the measurements made after this application.

According to the studies, COPD disease is seen in one of every 5-6 people who smoke for 20 years, more than one pack or one pack per day. The age of COPD was determined as the age of 40 years.

What are the Symptoms of COPD?
The most important symptom of COPD is that dyspnea becomes more and more annoying every day. Failure to meet the lung with sufficient oxygen will cause malfunctions in the feeding of all tissues in the body, therefore, extreme fatigue will also be seen.
