Whatever form they may take, lung surgeries are major surgeries that require substantial convalescence. Most people recover from their lung cancer surgery within three months.
The majority of lung cancer cases do not get diagnosed until the cancer has reached an advanced stage where surgery alone is not a sufficient treatment. Radiation and chemotherapy treatments are useful for treating the whole body or large areas of the body when the cancer has spread widely. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can often help alleviate some of the symptoms of the cancer but may not produce a cure. For more information see the document providing an overview of cancer treatments .
