Is lung cancer cure able or can be controlled by chemotherapy
Hello and thanks for your enquiry,
To answer your question, this will depend on the stage (extent) and also the type of the lung cancer. As with most cancers, early stages of lung cancer can be more successfully treated and cured.
We have information on our website about lung cancer and its treatments
If a lung cancer is more advanced, then unfortunately cure will not be possible. The specialist would be then offering treatments to help control and slow down the progression of the cancer for as long as is possible. A lung cancer specialist can explain this and the aims of treatment at a patient's consultation.
I hope that this helps,
Best wishes,
Vanda
