How successful are the lung cancer treatments?
Treatment for lung cancer depends upon a variety of factors. The most important factors are the histopathologic (diseased tissue) type of lung cancer and the stage of the cancer. Once the stage of the lung cancer has been determined, the oncology team and the patient work together to develop a treatment plan. It is important for lung cancer patients to discuss the value of different forms of therapy with their oncologist. Other factors that affect lung cancer treatment include the patient's general health, medical conditions that can affect treatment (such as chemotherapy), and tumor characteristics.

What can you do as an individual help with your lung cancer?
As an individual, first of all, I hope that you have seen a doctor about lung cancer. After that, follow whatever advice he or she gives you. Get advice from more than one doctor, if possible. Two heads are better than one. If you are a smoker, it would be in your best interest to stop, for sure. Be optimistic as much as you can, and try to avoid getting down in the dumps and being pessimistic. Although lung cancer is a sad situation, it is important to remember that people who have had it have beaten it, and not all situations are hopeless. Try to keep up your spirits, and ask for support from your friends and family. They want to support you and help you as much as they can. I truly hope that your lung cancer will go into recession soon. I hope that this was helpful.
What kind of doctor treats lung cancer?
Treating the cancer of any organ is usually a team approach with doctors of different specialties coming together since cancers often require multiple modes of treatment simultaneously (each delivered by doctors trained in providing that specific form of treatment). Treatment of lung cancer could include a pulmonologist (internist specializing in lung disease), oncologist (internist specializing in cancer), cardiothoracic surgeon (surgeon specializing in surgery on the structures within the chest cavity), radiologist (doctor trained in the interpretation of imaging studies such as CTs and MRIs for the diagnosis and treatment of disease) and radiation oncologist (doctor trained in using radiation to treat disease, mostly cancer). How much of a role, if any, each of these doctors will play will depend on the nature of the cancer and which treatment modalities are being utilized.
