Type of Surgery
Lung cancer surgery is commonly recommended for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Procedures call for excising a portion of the lung, though the area and size of the tissue removed depends on the progression of cancer. Surgeons may remove either a lobe, a functional segment, or an entire lung.
