Lung cancer originates in the tissues of the lungs, usually developing in the cells that line the air passages. There are a few common types of lung cancer, including lung nodules, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and mesothelioma. As of 2022, the number of new cases in the country is more than 236,000. There is no permanent cure for lung cancer, but following these tips can help manage the condition: Start treatment immediately When lung cancer is diagnosed and identified, the patient must immediately get on a treatment plan. Gavreto® is one such prescription treatment that contains pralsetinib. Pralsetinib belongs to the group called antineoplastics. The remedy is prescribed for the treatment of certain cancers caused by abnormal rearranged during transfection (RET) genes in the following groups:

• Adults and kids (12 years of age and older) with advanced medullary thyroid cancer (MTC); The treatment is further recommended if the MTC that has spread requires the administration of Gavreto® to the mouth or via an injection.
• Adults with non-small lung cancer, which has progressed
• Adults and children (12 years of age and older) who have advanced thyroid cancer or rapidly spreading cancer; in such situations, Gavreto® may be administered orally or through an injection if the patient does not respond well to radioactive iodine (RAI).

The most common genetic mutations of NSCLC are epidermal growth factor receptors, KRAS, and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). NSCLC mutations are treated with targeted therapies that block the pathways for the growth of the disease. They are more effective against cancer than traditional therapies like chemo and radiation and often have fewer side effects. Consult a qualified doctor for specific information regarding the treatment of NSCLC mutations. Eat the right foods Though treatments may help improve one's condition, getting adequate nutrition from foods can help strengthen the immune system. A strong immune system can help the individual ward off symptoms of lung cancer. Incorporating fresh fruits, whole grains, and vegetables into your meals can help improve the immune system. Fatty fish, oats, lean meat, and low-fat dairy can also help fight off any potential symptoms. One must also stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to manage lung cancer better. Practice healthier living habits Apart from seeking treatment and eating healthy, practicing healthier living habits may also help manage lung cancer symptoms. Simple physical activities, such as walking or stretching, may help improve an individual's mood, maintain a healthy weight, and curb fatigue. Addressing mental health by speaking to a counselor or joining a support group may help cope with the disease. Lastly, fixing regular appointments with the healthcare team, learning about the condition, and tracking symptoms can help improve the patient's lifestyle.
