Lung cancer treatment varies based on the cancer's type (non-small cell or small cell), stage, and patient health. Primary treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Surgery aims to remove the tumor and is most effective in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells, often combined with chemotherapy for advanced stages. Chemotherapy employs drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cells and is standard for both lung cancer types. Targeted therapy focuses on specific genetic mutations driving cancer growth, offering a personalized approach with fewer side effects. Immunotherapy enhances the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's specific condition, aiming to prolong survival and improve quality of life.
