Surgery for Lung Cancer: About this Treatment
About Lung Cancer Surgery
Surgery is a very effective treatment for lung cancer, especially in the disease’s early stages. Treatment goals for lung cancer surgery are to:
- Eliminate as much of the cancer as possible, by removing either the tumor and its margins (narrow border of surrounding tissue)
- Remove one or more lymph nodes to check them for cancer
- Relieve symptoms of advanced cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body
