Q: I was just diagnosed with lung cancer. How can I improve my chances for a cure?
A: The best hope for lung cancer cure is immediate treatment. If you have lung cancer or suspected lung cancer, there is more hope than you realize:
- Once diagnosed, most patients wait too long to begin treatment for lung cancer. A lot of time is spent scheduling extra tests and waiting to see different doctors.
- The sooner you begin treatment, the better your chances for a cure.
- The best results in lung cancer treatment are often achieved when surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are combined. You need all three, working together.
- Advances in early treatment of lung cancer can improve your chance for a cure, but you must begin treatment as soon as possible.
- You can get a diagnosis and a written treatment plan in a single visit at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
