Is there any treatment for lung cancer?

Yes, but...: The majority of lung cancers are incurable when found. Squamous and adenocarcinoma caught very early can be removed surgically with an under-50% chance for a cure, or can be held at bay for maybe a year or more with unpleasnat chemoterhapy; small-cell is always lethel but responds quite well for several months to unpleasant chemotherapy. Best to try to stop smoking no matter how hard. Peace.

Of Course: Treatment is stage specific for non-small cell lung cancer. There are 4 main stages of lung cancer with stage iii divided into iiia and iiib. For stage i and ii lung cancer there upfront therapy is surgery, with possible chemotherapy after surgery if lymph nodes are positive. For stage iiia either chemoradiation + surgery or high dose chemotherapy alone. Stage iv, chemo +/- radiation.
