कैंसर को मात देकर संजय दत्त ने जीती जिंदगी की जंग, बच्चों के 10वें जन्मदिन पर भावुक पोस्ट के जरिए किया फैंस का शुक्रिया
The 'Munnabhai' of Bollywood, Sanjay Dutt has reportedly been diagnosed with lung cancer, a condition that is one of the leading causes of death, globally. Bollywood trade analyst Komal Nahta tweeted yesterday saying, "Sanjay Dutt diagnosed with lung cancer. Let's pray for his speedy recovery."
A close friend of the veteran Bollywood actor is also reported to have told a website that he is "devastated." However, Dutt didn't refer to cancer in his yesterday's Twitter message where he declared that he needs to take a break from films for treatment purposes. In his Twitter handle, the Bollywood actor wrote, "Hi friends, I am taking a short break from work for medical treatment. My family and friends are with me and I urge my well-wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon!"

Dutt will be flying to the US for his treatment.
Last week on August 8, Dutt was hospitalised after he complained of breathing issues and uneasiness in the chest. He was kept under observation for a day and discharged after he tested negative for COVID-19.
This condition is characterised by abnormal cell division in the lungs that leads to malignant tumours and lumps. The most prominent symptoms of lung cancer include cough, blood in the cough and difficulty in breathing. Smoking, exposure to environmental toxins like radon, a gas and toxic substances like asbestos and diesel increase your risk of this condition. Broadly speaking, there are two types of lung cancer: Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSLC). While SCLC is a more aggressive form of lung cancer, NSLC is more common. However, NSLC takes more time to develop. In both these forms of lung cancer, smoking is the main culprit.
According to the findings of the American Cancer Society (ACS), lung cancer doesn't come with any symptom at the initial stage. The manifestations start occurring when the cancer cells spread to other areas of the body. However, some people may experience subtle symptoms during the early stage too. Consult a doctor if you experience them:
The line of treatment for lung cancer depends on the location, stage and overall health status of lung cancer. Typically, the treatment modality includes surgical removal of the affected lung tissues and surrounding areas or one lung altogether. The other methods are chemotherapy, radiation therapy and targeted therapy.
