What recent research has been conducted about Lung Cancer?

# data[].attributes.body
-Researchers are looking at specific features of lung tumors that can predict whether a specific chemotherapy or targeted therapy may be effective.

-Doctors are finding ways to improve the effectiveness of surgery and radiation therapy while reducing the side effects of these procedures.

-There is an interest in screening people for lung cancer before it causes symptoms so that it can be treated early.

-Genetic testing to learn which people have a higher risk of lung cancer is also being researched.

What is the the average survival rate for this cancer?

# data[].attributes.body
The average survival rate is 54.0%.

# data[].attributes.body
-Surgery: Complete removal of the lung tumor

-Radiation Therapy: Use of High X-ray or other

particles to destroy the cancer cells

-Chemotherapy: Use of drugs to destroy cancer

cells

-Targeted Therapy: Targets cancer's specific genes,

proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes

to the cancer growth

Most people with lung cancer often revive more than

one type of treatment.

For example: Chemo can be given before/after the

surgery.
