Question 1

what is a good way to cure lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends on the stage and performance status of the patients. Most of the time surgery is recommended. However certain early forms of lung cancer and advanced forms of lung cancer can be treated without surgery (ie chemotherapy and/or radiation)

Question 2

can lung cancer thats spread to chest be cured?

Accepted Answer

Depends : The prognosis of primary lung cancer is determined by the staging which depends on the type of lung cancer (small versus non-small cell). Lung cancer staging has become very specific and can sometimes be pretty complicated. To answer your question (strictly speaking) there are forms of "spread to chest" that can be cured...But to be more accurate your oncologist/surgeon should answer that for you.

Question 3

please help! what is the best way to cure lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

Surgery: All things considered, surgery gives the best results for cure. This is dependent on stage at the time of presentation, with earlier stage cancers more likely to be amenable to complete removal and potential cure. This may be in conjunction with chemotherapy and/or radiation, either before or after surgery.

Question 4

what to do if i don't have lung cancer but i am asking in general. do you think that it can be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Early stage survival can range from 60% to as high as 90+%. Survival is individual. Depends on cancer type, treatment, and general health at time of diagnosis. Best outcomes are achieved with a multi-discipline thoracic oncology approach.

Question 5

is there an herbal cure for lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: Although herbal and homepathic medicine may help with some of the symptoms of the disease and the treatment, there is no evidence to support a herbal cure for lung cancer.  The standard of care therapy for best chance of cure for stage i and II lung cancer is surgery, with a role for chemotherapy for stages ii-iv and radiation for stage III and possibly IV (as standard of care). See www.Cancer.Gov.

Question 8

how do you cure small cell lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

You rarely do: Small cell lung cancer is one of two major categories of lung cancer.  It is often associated with smoking and is unfortunately often diagnosed too late to achieve a "cure".  Rarely, we catch it early and it can be cut out.  However, more often it is advanced and treatment options are only chemo tx and radiation.  Some patients initially respond to the therapy, but rarely do patients live >5yrs.
