Lung Cancer Treatment

Personalized Surgical Care for Lung Cancer

Lung cancer treatment depends on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, tumour location, lung function, and the patient’s overall health.

When surgery is appropriate, the doctor evaluates the patient carefully to determine the most suitable surgical approach.

Treatment may involve:

  • Surgical removal of the tumour
  • Lung resection procedures
  • Lymph node assessment and removal when indicated
  • Minimally invasive thoracic surgery where appropriate
  • Coordination with medical and radiation oncology teams
  • Follow-up and postoperative care
