Lung Cancer
Lung Cancer Treatments
Treatment decisions are made after all medical information has been obtained. The sort of information that is evaluated includes the patient’s age, previous medical history, breathing and exercise test results, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs), PET and CAT scans.MRIs, PET and CAT scans are all imaging techniques. Usually a surgical approach will be considered first. If the patient cannot tolerate surgery, the tumor is unresectable or the cancer has spread outside the lung, then other treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy are considered. Patients may be required to see a cardiologist before final decisions for surgical intervention are made.
