Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with about 1.76 million deaths in 2018. Smoking is the main risk factor, along with genetic predisposition and asbestos exposure. Primary LC starts in the lung tissue, while secondary LC spreads from other body parts to the lungs. LC is often classified into small [...]

    Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with about 1.76 million deaths in 2018. Smoking is the main risk factor, along with genetic predisposition and asbestos exposure. Primary LC starts in the lung tissue, while secondary LC spreads from other body parts to the lungs. LC is often classified into small cell and non-small cell types, which affects treatment plans. For non-small cell LC, surgical removal is the first option. Advanced cases might be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or combinations, but complete remission is rare. Minimally invasive treatments like microwave ablation (MWA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and cryoablation are used for local tumor control, especially in patients who can't undergo surgery. These methods help preserve lung function and improve quality of life. New techniques like Cyber-knife and Gamma knife are also emerging as alternatives to traditional ablation methods.

    3He completed primary and high school education in Van. He studied at Kocaeli University Medical School. Later, he did radiology residency at Atatürk University. He completed his mandatory service as a radiology specialist at Van Training and Research Hospital for two years. Afterwards, he worked at a private hospital for one year. Since 2016, he has been working in the Radiology Department at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, specializing in both cardiothoracic imaging and interventional radiology. He received associate professorship in 2018 and has been serving as a professor since June 2024. He has published numerous scientific articles and given oral presentations at both national and international conferences. For English language training, he spent some time in Dublin (Ireland). Later, He worked as an observer in interventional radiology at UPM University (Malaysia) and Rush University (Chicago). Additionally, he is a member of the Turkish Society of Interventional Radiology, the Turkish Radiology Society, and the Turkish Thoracic Radiology Society.
