Medication and breathing treatments may be administered to aid in the opening of your airways and the reduction of inflammation. To assist enhance quality of life, pulmonary rehabilitation, an exercise program designed to help people with chronic lung problems keep active, is usually suggested. If these options are not effective, surgical removal of some or all of the lungs will be required. There are two types of surgery used to treat pneumoconiosis: lobectomy and segmental resection. In a lobectomy, all the tissue in one lobe of the lung is removed. This means there will be no more opportunities for cancer to grow within that lobe. In contrast, segmental resections only remove a portion of one lobe or one section of the lung. Cancer can still grow in other areas of the lung, so it is important to continue using medical therapy after this type of operation. Lung transplantation is an option for people who remain sick even after trying other treatments. Transplants are done when lung tissue cannot be successfully grown in a laboratory. They offer the best chance of survival but require careful monitoring by expert physicians. People who have had both legs amputated below the knee may choose to have prosthetic limbs. Prosthetics are made up of three parts: a body, a foot, and a leg assembly. The body can be mechanical or electronic.
