Yes, There are four types of lung cancers.
Treatment of cancer is based upon the cell type and the location of the cancer.
The best treatment for lung cancer depends primarily on the stage of the cancer, i.e., whether it is an early localized stage or whether it has spread to the center part of the chest or elsewhere. The best long-term survival and cure rates are found in early stage patients who are able to undergo complete removal of their cancer by surgery. In most situations recovery after surgery is relatively rapid, but it depends greatly on the condition of the patient prior to surgery. Active patients in good condition prior to surgery can expect to be back on their feet and doing most non-exertional activities within a week or two of surgery, and back to full function in six or eight weeks. It depends greatly on the type of work and whethere there is physical labor involved.
