Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the United States among both men and women. Thanks to clinical research, much progress has been made in detecting and treating lung cancer. Scientific advancements, along with less use of tobacco products, are allowing lung cancer patients to be diagnosed earlier and survive longer than ever before. Learn more about what to expect and the lung cancer treatments that may be available to you.
Lung cancers are broadly classified into two types — small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) — which are then broken down into a specific subtype. Both small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer are named for the kinds of cells found in the cancer and how the cells appear when viewed under a microscope.
You and your doctor can work together to develop a treatment plan that meets your medical and personal needs. Find out what to expect as you meet with the oncologist to discuss a treatment plan including common questions you might want to ask.
There are several different treatment options for lung cancer, depending on the type and how far it has spread.
