Get expert lung cancer treatment in India with MediBridge. Affordable options for Kenyan patients, starting from $2,000 USD for chemotherapy.
What Is Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer is a serious disease where abnormal cells grow in the lungs, forming tumors. It can spread quickly to other parts of the body, making early detection and treatment crucial.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and its incidence is rising in Kenya. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lung cancer, it's essential to explore effective treatment options. In this blog post, we'll discuss the available treatments for lung cancer in India, a country renowned for its world-class medical facilities and affordable treatment costs.
Why Kenyan Patients Choose India for Lung Cancer Treatment
Kenyan patients choose India for lung cancer treatment due to several reasons:
- World-class medical facilities and expert doctors
- State-of-the-art equipment and modern treatment protocols
- Lower treatment costs compared to Kenya and other developed countries
- Cultural and linguistic similarity, making it easier for patients to communicate and adjust
- Shorter waiting times and faster treatment turnaround
Treatment Options Available in India
At MediBridge, we offer three effective treatment options for lung cancer:
Lobectomy
Lobectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one lobe of the lung, commonly done to treat lung cancer, severe tuberculosis, or lung abscess. It can be done through open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, reducing recovery time and scarring.
Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a powerful anti-cancer drug regimen used to treat various cancers, including lung, cervical, ovarian, head & neck, and bladder cancer. It works by damaging DNA in cancer cells, inhibiting their growth and spread.
Targeted Therapy (EGFR/ALK Inhibitors like Osimertinib)
Targeted therapy using drugs like Osimertinib is used to block specific mutations (e.g. EGFR, ALK) that drive cancer growth, especially in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It works by attacking cancer cells and preventing them from growing and dividing.
