Surgery

1. The goal of surgery is the complete removal of the lung tumor and the nearby lymph nodes in the chest. The tumor must be removed with a surrounding border or margin of normal lung tissue.

   A. Lobectomy –

   The lungs have five lobes, three in the right lung and two in the left lung. A lobe containing tumor is removed in this procedure.

   B. A wedge –If the surgeon cannot remove an entire lobe of the lung, the surgeon can remove the tumor, surrounded by a margin of normal lung.

   C. Segmentectomy –This is another way to remove the cancer when an entire lobe of the lung cannot be removed. In a segmentectomy, the surgeon removes the portion of the lung where the cancer developed.

   D. Pneumonectomy –If the tumor is close to the center of the chest, the surgeon may have to remove the entire lung.

   E. Radiofrequency Ablation – Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the use of a needle inserted into the tumor to destroy the cancer with an electrical current. It is sometimes used for a lung tumor that cannot be removed with the other types of surgery listed above.

Radiation

1. Radiation therapy is the use of high energy x-rays or other particles to destroy cancer cells. The most common type of radiation treatment is called external beam radiation therapy, which is radiation given from a machine outside the body.
2. Like surgery, radiation therapy cannot be used to treat widespread cancer. Radiation only destroys cancer cells directly in the path of the radiation beam. It also damages the normal cells in its path, for this reason, it cannot be used to treat large areas of the body.

Chemotherapy

1. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells, usually by stopping the cancer cells ability to grow and divide.
2. Systemic chemotherapy is delivered through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells throughout the body.
3. A chemotherapy regimen usually consists of a specific number of cycles given over a set period of time.
4. A patient may receive one drug at a time or combinations of different drugs at the same time.
5. Chemotherapy may also damage normal cells in the body, including blood cells, skin cells, and nerve cells.
6. This may cause low blood counts, an increased risk of infection, hair loss, mouth sores, and/or numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.
