• Surgery or radiation therapy is used to cure stage I cancer.
• Treatment for stage II and III cancers depends on if the tumor is invasive.
• Chemoradiation is used to cure lung cancers that are too invasive or spread too far within the chest.
• Widespread lung cancers can be treated with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or both.
• A survivorship care plan should be followed after lung cancer has been cured.
