What are lung cancer survival rates?
By their very definition, stages of cancer refer to the difficulty in eliminating the tumor(s) from the body. But they are not a hard and fast number; rather, they're an indication of how far the cancer has spread. Some people diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer never recover; while a lucky few who have reached Stage 4 respond miraculously well to treatment. But in general, your best chance of survival is to catch the disease while its still in stages I or II; anything beyond that will almost certainly require major organ-removal surgery, plus painful follow-up therapies such as radiation and chemo.
