Lung Cancer Treatment
Comprehensive surgical care for lung cancer with advanced techniques and personalized treatment
Comprehensive Lung Cancer Care
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide in terms of both incidence and mortality. To facilitate clinical staging, characteristics of the tumor (T), the regional and distant lymph nodes (N), or metastatic disease (M) are considered to accurately define the extent of the disease.
The optimal management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is dictated by tumor characteristics, clinical stage, as well as the patient's underlying physiologic status.
Complete (R0) surgical resection of primary NSCLC, along with its lymphatic and vascular supply, constitutes the primary therapeutic approach when technically possible, and affords patients with the best chance for cure.
Patients with clinical stage IA-IIB NSCLC are best managed by anatomic lung resection with mediastinal lymph node sampling or dissection. There is benefit in the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for those patients with nodal involvement (stage IIA or IIB) following complete resection.
