Lung Cancer Treatments

Lung cancer treatments vary based on the type and stage of cancer. Common approaches include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy that uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells, and chemotherapy, which uses drugs to target rapidly dividing cells. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are newer options that help the body fight cancer more effectively. Your healthcare team will create a personalized treatment plan, often combining these methods, to improve outcomes and manage symptoms. Regular follow-ups and monitoring are essential for adjusting treatments as needed.
