Treatments Recommended :
Surgery
Surgery is usually done in stage 1 and stage 2; this method of treatment is largely done to remove the tumour. The area of surgery may be from segmentectomy (small lung part ) to Pneumonectomy (whole single side lung)
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy has been given after the surgical elimination of the tumour. People with stage 3 lung cancer, chemotherapy is provided in combination with radiation as the tumour cannot be removed by surgically. In stage 4 of lung cancer, chemotherapy therapy is supposed to be the primary treatment.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy has become the most innovative way of therapy for lung cancer treatment. It causes minimum side effects because of its tool of action. Immunotherapy is of four kinds.
- Monoclonal antibodies- target specific antigens of tumor in the body.
- Therapeutic vaccines – Act as particular tumor vaccines.
- Checkpoint inhibitors – target molecules and also balance and regulate immune responses.
- Adoptive T-cell transfer – White blood cells are extracted from the patient’s body and are chemically managed to increase the chemical response and arereintroduced into the patient’s body to improve the immune system’s anticancer response.
