If a diagnosis of lung cancer is suspected or confirmed, your doctor can outline your treatment. These options depend mainly upon the location of the cancer in your lung and the extent, or stage, of the cancer.

In later stages, it may spread within the lungs or through the lymph nodes to other parts of the body. Once the stage has been determined, the best treatment method can be chosen.
