Lung Cancer


I decided to research some of the latest news concerning this form of cancer. I ran across a particular article on the Shands Website, under the Cancer News section, about researchers in Norway who proposed surgical procedure as an alternative to current treatment. Doctors have only considered surgery with with stage I-II resectable disease which is a less advanced stage of lung cancer. Most other cases of lung cancer are treated with radiation therapy or cheo-therapy. The Norwegian researchers believe that surgical procedure can help improve the survival rate for lung cancer and they also believe that current therapy procedures for lung cancer are not effective.
