Lung Tumor Treatment

Lung tumor treatment typically includes several options, depending on the tumor type, size, and stage. Surgery may remove the tumor and some surrounding tissue. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy involves medications that kill rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Targeted therapy focuses on specific characteristics of the tumor, while immunotherapy boosts the body’s immune response against cancer. Treatment plans are personalized, often involving a combination of these methods to achieve the best outcome. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to assess treatment effectiveness and manage any side effects.
