Sraboni Banik’s Death: What Is Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma?
The Bengali television industry is in mourning the death of actress Sraboni Banik, who passed away on Monday morning at around 9 am. She had been battling pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a common type of lung cancer, with cancer spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). Her condition had worsened over the past few weeks, leading to hospitalisation. Despite medical care, she could not survive the advanced stage of the disease.
What Is Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma?
Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is a form of lung cancer that begins in the cells lining the air sacs of the lungs. It is one of the most frequently diagnosed lung cancers, especially among non-smokers and women.
Medically, this cancer often progresses silently in its early stages. As a result, many patients are diagnosed only after symptoms worsen or when the disease has already spread. This makes treatment more challenging and outcomes less predictable.
How Advanced Lung Cancer Affects the Body
In Sraboni Banik’s case, the cancer had metastasised, meaning it had spread beyond the lungs. At this stage, patients may experience severe fatigue, breathing difficulty, weight loss, pain, and reduced immunity.
Treatment usually includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or supportive care, depending on the patient’s overall health. While these treatments aim to slow disease progression and improve quality of life, advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma often carries a guarded prognosis.
Son’s Emotional Message
Sraboni Banik’s son, Achyuta Adarsha, had earlier appealed on social media for financial help due to the high cost of cancer treatment. In a deeply emotional Facebook post, he spoke about how cancer changes not only the patient’s life but also the lives of family members.
He described seeing strength rather than defeat during his mother’s first chemotherapy session, reflecting how patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma often show remarkable emotional resilience despite physical suffering.
Colleagues Mourn a Personal and Professional Loss
Director Babu Banik, a long-time friend of the actress, confirmed that she had been away from work for a considerable period due to her illness. He shared that her last rites will be performed at Nimtala crematorium.
Actor Bhaswar Chatterjee also paid tribute, recalling their long professional association and shared memories across films and television projects. These reactions underline the deep emotional impact of her passing on the industry.
A Legacy Beyond Illness
Sraboni Banik was widely admired for her performances in popular serials such as Jahanara, Lalkuthi, Ranga Bou, Godhuli Alap, and Sohag Chand. While pulmonary adenocarcinoma ultimately claimed her life, her journey has drawn attention to the realities of lung cancer and the silent burden carried by patients and caregivers alike.
Conclusion
Sraboni Banik’s death highlights the importance of early detection and timely evaluation of persistent respiratory symptoms. Increased awareness can help people seek care earlier, when treatment options are more effective.
Her story is not just about loss, but also about courage, family support, and the urgent need for greater public understanding of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and advanced lung cancer.
May her soul rest in peace.
