There are several types of treatment for lung cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The specific treatment plan will depend on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the overall health of each patient. In general, the goal of lung cancer treatment is to remove the cancerous cells or to ‘starve’ them with medication, radiation, or other modalities. Some people with lung cancer may require multimodal therapy to achieve the best possible outcome.
