Lung cancer surgery moved up after tracheal scope 1 mass in lung.. good or bad?

Excellent: Early stage lung cancer can be treated surgically and often cured. It allows for the resection and evaluation of lymph nodes to determine if you need other therapy also.

May be good: Without complete details, difficult to tell. Having lung cancer is bad. Having lung cancer that is amenable to surgical removal is a far better situation. If following evaluation and bronchoscopy your team feels you are a surgical candidate for removal, it is good. Best survival in lung cancer is lung cancer that can be surgically removed (resectable cancer).
