Chemotherapy for Lung Cancer
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which drugs are used to destroy cancer cells. It is often used in combination with other treatments, such as surgery and radiation therapy, to treat lung cancer. Chemotherapy can be used before surgery to reduce the size of a tumor, after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells, or as a standalone treatment for those unable to undergo other treatments. It can also be used to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for those with advanced stages of the disease. By destroying cancer cells and shrinking the tumor, chemotherapy can significantly improve a patient’s chance of recovery.
