Is there a cure for lung cancer?

How can I cure lung cancer ?

  • Answer:

    I'm hoping this is a joke, a very distasteful one at that. You cannot cure lung cancer, you can only treat it, and she has to see a doctor about that...I really hope you knew that though.

There is usually no cure for lung cancer. Rarely, if it is diagnosed in the earliest stages, it can be removed and the person can live out their natural lifespan. The cancer could come back even with removal and chemotherapy and rad. However, most of the time, it's diagnosed after the disease has symptoms, or when it is in the metastatic (spread to other organs) phase. At this phase, chemotherapy and rad is really more about symptom management, and will not likely significantly extend life. Surgery is not an option, and most patients will die within the year.
