Do you feel breathless, have a stubborn cough or chest pain that doesn’t feel right?

If you’ve noticed these changes, consult Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta, an expert lung cancer surgeon in Kolkata known for delivering specialised solutions to healthcare.

What Is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer begins when abnormal cells multiply uncontrollably in one or both lungs. These cells block airflow, invade nearby tissues, and spread quickly if left unchecked.
