Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello, The treatments available for lung cancer are:
Surgery: The surgeon removes the affected part or sometimes a lobe or entire lung depending on all the parameters of the patient. Types of surgeries are-
Wedge resection, Segmental resection, Lobectomy, Pneumonectomy.
Doctors may also remove lymph nodes from chest to check for cancer. The doctor may suggest chemotherapy or radiation therapy before surgery in order to shrink the tumor if it is large. Also, the same may be done in the case of recurrence if suspected.
Radiation therapy: It is also recommended in whom surgery is not recommended as the first line of treatment.
Chemotherapy: Chemo along with adjuvant treatment to surgery also is given to relieve pain and other symptoms in advanced cancer.

Can u cure the 1st stage of cancer

Male | 40

When we talk about cancer, early detection is the key. The 1st stage signifies that the tumors are still small and have not developed into metastasis yet. Symptoms may not be obvious, but you might notice some unusual body changes. Causes may differ, but always it is not clear why they emerge. The main solution for 1st-stage cancer is to remove or destroy the abnormal cells through treatments like surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. The end goal of these therapies is to eliminate cancer and prevent its recurrence. Timely diagnosis and treatment are the factors controlling successful acute leukemia treatment in the first stage.

Female | 52

Cancer is tough, but there's hope. Please let the doctor know if she feels worse even after treatment. Some symptoms such as coughing, pain, or feeling weak are of multiple possibilities. The doctor possibly has to ascertain if the cancer has recurred or if there is another problem. Waiting is not a good choice especially when you tell them how your mother is doing.

My name is Pratima. Just a few days back my grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer treatment (1st stage). She is 75 now. As she is quite aged, is there any chance of growing again? Or is there any life risk even post operation? As she is quite aged we are really worried. Please help.

Surgery is to be done to get the disease out of body and prevent it's spread elsewhere in body. There is always a chance of spread of disease in Colon cancer, so regular follow ups with oncologist are very important to check any spread. Age factor does matter in case of recovery post surgery. General condition of the body matters alot for proper recovery post surgery.
