Apollo Cancer Centre Leads the Way with India’s First LungLife Screening Program to Combat Lung Cancer
Udaipur : Apollo Cancer Centres (ACCs), a leader in cutting-edge cancer care, has launched India’s first LungLife Screening Program for early detection of lung cancer. This groundbreaking initiative aims to combat lung cancer, which accounts for 5.9% of all cancers and 8.1% of cancer-related deaths in India. Early detection aids in better treatment outcome and enhances the survival rate. The LungLife Screening Program aims at individuals who have the highest risk for lung cancer such as: (i) people between the age group of 50 and 80 years, (ii) asymptomatic (no signs or symptoms of lung cancer), (iii) individuals with a significant history of smoking and (iv) people with family history of lung cancers.
Dr Rahul Jalan, Consultant Interventional Pulmonology, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, said, "Lung cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers globally, but early detection notably enhances survival chances. Through our Lung-Life Screening Program, we aim to identify high-risk individuals early, using advanced low-dose CT technology, which minimizes radiation exposure while maximizing diagnostic precision. This program is particularly impactful for individuals with a history of smoking, passive smoking exposure, or a family history of lung cancer. By detecting lung cancer at a treatable stage, we empower patients with better treatment outcomes and build a renewed hope for a healthier future.”
Dr Akash Shah, Consultant Medical Oncology, Apollo Hospitals Ahmedabad, said, “The introduction of Apollo Cancer Centre’s Lung-Life Screening Program marks a pivotal step in addressing the alarming rise of lung cancer in India. With this comprehensive screening program, we focus on early-stage detection, where the chances of effective treatment and recovery are exponentially higher. The program leverages state-of-the-art low-dose CT scans, ensuring accurate diagnoses while prioritizing patient safety. Together, we are not just treating cancer but transforming lives through timely interventions and holistic care tailored to individual needs.”
Dr Rushit Shah, Consultant Medical Oncology, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, said, "Lung cancer is a silent threat, often detected only when it has advanced, thereby, making early detection a critical intervention. With the launch of the Lung-Life Screening Program, Apollo Cancer Centre is revolutionizing the approach to lung cancer care. This program combines precision diagnostics with patient-focused care to detect it early, significantly improving survival rates. Our initiative demonstrates that proactive healthcare can save lives, offering patients the best chance for recovery and reinforcing our commitment to redefining excellence in cancer treatment."
