lung cancer at early stage can be escaped from death? how is treatment? when will it be in danger ?

[welchm53]

treatment is the same chemo, sometimes u can have surgery. Sometimes nothing works and it spreads, or if that doesn't kill you the chemo will. Its a sad thing 2 watch somebody go Thur.

Lung cancer is very easy to treat when detected early because you have different sections of your lungs. There are ten sections per lung. If your cancer is in one part, that part can be removed without causing damage to the other parts or can be treated with chemotherapy. It's dangerous when the cancerous cells metastasize into other parts of the lungs or spread to other parts of the body and then the cure rates are lowered. There is also a high danger for people that catch lung cancer in late phases and then there is less of a survival chance.

I had surgery for a type of lung cancer and I'm alive and well. I have other types of cancer now but I don't dwell on it. That's life. Never had chemo for any of it. Good luck. By the way, my Doctor gave me one year to live. Fooled him.

The earlier it is caught, the better the prognosis. But no matter how you look at it, lung cancer is ultra serious.

Less than half of the people diagnosed with lung cancer are still alive 5 years down the road.

Treatment can involve chemotherapy, radiation, surgery sometimes, it all varies depending on the case.
