About the Procedure
What is Lung Cancer Treatment?
Lung Cancer Treatment refers to a multidisciplinary set of therapies—surgery, radiation, and systemic drug therapy—used to remove or control cancerous tumors in the lungs. The specific combination depends on the cancer stage, tumor location, and the patient's overall health, and is planned jointly by surgical, radiation, and medical oncologists. Treatment aims to cure early-stage disease or control advanced disease while preserving lung function and quality of life.
Who may be considered?
Lung Cancer Treatment may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) or open thoracotomy is used to remove the tumor along with a lobe or segment of the lung, typically for early-stage, resectable disease.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Surgical Resection (VATS / Lobectomy)
Minimally InvasiveVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) or open thoracotomy is used to remove the tumor along with a lobe or segment of the lung, typically for early-stage, resectable disease.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $800 - $2,000
CT chest with contrast, PET-CT, Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), Bronchoscopy with biopsy, CBC, coagulation profile, cardiac clearance (ECG, echocardiogram), ABG
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $7,500 - $15,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5-7 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15-20 days recommended
Total stay: approx 20-25 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Pre-op consultations & workup
- Surgery & anesthesia charges
- ICU and ward stay
- Chest tube management
- Post-op physiotherapy sessions
- Follow-up visit before discharge
Usually Not Included
- Adjuvant chemotherapy/radiation if required
- Long-term oncology medications
- Airfare and visa costs
- Companion accommodation
- Home-country follow-up scans
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery time varies by treatment type—surgical patients typically need 3-4 weeks for wound healing and lung function recovery, while radiation and systemic therapy patients require ongoing monitoring across multiple cycles with periodic imaging to assess response.
Risks
Risks may include infection, bleeding, air leak, or reduced lung function after surgery, while radiation and systemic therapies carry risks of fatigue, skin/lung irritation, and treatment-specific side effects depending on the drug regimen.
Alternatives
Depending on stage and fitness, alternatives include watchful waiting for very early indolent lesions, palliative care for advanced disease focused on symptom control, or clinical trial participation for novel targeted/immunotherapy agents.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- CT chest and abdomen with contrast
- PET-CT scan report
- Bronchoscopy/biopsy histopathology report
- Molecular/genetic mutation testing results (if available)
- Pulmonary function test report
- Recent CBC and metabolic panel
- MRI brain (to rule out metastasis)
- Cardiac evaluation report (ECG/echo)
Patient information needed
- Current stage and type of lung cancer (if diagnosed)
- Smoking history and duration
- Prior treatments received (surgery, chemo, radiation)
- Existing comorbidities (heart, lung, diabetes)
- Current medications and allergies
- Performance/functional status of the patient
- Family history of cancer
- Preferred treatment approach (surgical vs non-surgical)
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.
How we selected these doctors
A doctor appears on this page when their listed specialty maps to Surgical Oncology and their profile names lung cancer treatment (or a matching term) among the procedures they perform. Doctors are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows years of listed experience (highest first), the same field shown on each doctor's profile. This page does not display aggregate star ratings.

Our methodology
How GAF Healthcare selects doctors
Doctors may be included when they meet relevant criteria for lung cancer treatment. This is a transparent listing methodology, not a clinical recommendation or paid ranking:
01
Relevant specialty
surgical oncology expertise is mapped from the doctor's listed specialty and profile information.
02
Procedure relevance
lung cancer treatment is listed among the doctor's procedures or areas of expertise, using matching terms where appropriate.
03
Hospital affiliation
The doctor is currently affiliated with a recognised hospital in the GAF directory. Hospital details and availability can change, so confirm them before booking.
04
Professional experience
Experience is displayed from the doctor's available professional profile and is used as the ordering signal when the page lists doctors.
05
Data verification
Doctor and hospital information is checked against the records available to GAF and updated when new information is supplied. It is not a substitute for confirming credentials directly.
06
No paid ranking
Being featured does not automatically mean the doctor is ranked number one. GAF does not sell position on this page.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about Lung Cancer Treatment in India
How many surgical oncology doctors are listed for lung cancer treatment in India?
24 doctors in our India directory currently list lung cancer treatment among their procedures.
How do you choose which surgical oncology doctors to list?
A doctor appears on this page when their listed specialty maps to Surgical Oncology and their profile names lung cancer treatment (or a matching term) among the procedures they perform. Doctors are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows years of listed experience (highest first), the same field shown on each doctor's profile. This page does not display aggregate star ratings.
Can I compare the listed surgical oncology doctors before booking?
Yes. Review each profile's listed experience, qualifications, procedures and hospital affiliation, then discuss your reports and options with a qualified doctor before making a decision.
Do the listed doctors treat patients from outside India?
International-patient availability can differ by doctor and hospital. Contact the care team to confirm language support, appointment timing and whether the doctor can review your reports remotely.
Can I request a second opinion from a doctor on this page?
You can ask for a records review or second opinion through the enquiry form. The doctor must assess your reports and history before giving advice; this page is not a diagnosis.
What is lung cancer treatment?
Lung Cancer Treatment is a medical procedure whose exact approach depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, previous treatment and overall health. A qualified specialist should explain whether it is appropriate for you.
Who may be considered for lung cancer treatment?
Suitability is decided after a specialist reviews your symptoms, diagnosis, investigations, medicines and medical history. The same procedure is not suitable for every patient.
What tests are usually reviewed before lung cancer treatment?
The required review varies by case and may include existing imaging, laboratory results, pathology or other specialist reports. Your treating team will confirm which tests are needed rather than relying on a fixed list.
How long does recovery from lung cancer treatment take?
Recovery depends on the approach, the reason for treatment and your health. Ask the treating hospital for a personalised hospital stay, follow-up and return-to-activity plan.
What alternatives or risks should I discuss for lung cancer treatment?
Ask a qualified specialist about procedure-specific risks, expected benefits and possible non-surgical or alternative approaches. These cannot be determined safely from the procedure name alone.
How much does lung cancer treatment cost in India?
Cost varies by hospital, city and individual case. Use our cost calculator for a personalized estimate — see the link on this page.
What can change the cost of lung cancer treatment?
The hospital, surgeon, procedure approach, investigations, medicines, length of stay and any treatment for complications can affect the final quote. Request an itemised estimate after records review.
Which cities in India have surgical oncology doctors listed for this procedure?
Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai. Use the city links on this page to view doctors in a specific city.
What should international patients send before travelling for lung cancer treatment?
Send relevant reports, scans, pathology results, medication details and a clear medical history for review. The care team can then ask the hospital what additional information or tests are required.
Can GAF Healthcare help with travel and hospital coordination?
Our coordination team can explain the next steps and available support, including appointment communication and travel planning. Visa, transport and accommodation arrangements depend on the patient's case and confirmed hospital plan.
