We got to the MEMORIAL clinic due to an urgent diagnosis. The successful outcome of the operation depended on promptness. The question was about days. The operation was carried out the next day. The most difficult operation according to the Whipple method. Conducted by professor, head of surgery. Low bow to him. The entire staff of the department works perfectly, promptly responds to any request. Separately, I want to say about the work of the translator Aida. High qualification, operational work at any time of the day, sincerity - only a small description of her qualities. Special thanks for providing meals to the patient and accompanying person. The cuisine is very tasty, in some positions it is better than homemade. I enjoyed the vegetarian cuisine. But there is a different one. A low bow to all the staff of the clinic. They saved my husband's life.

What are the options for lung cancer treatment?

Surgery. In these lung cancer treatment centers, doctors can assign surgical interventions depending on the stage. Surgeries can be:

  • lobectomy — the removing of the lung lobe.
  • pneumonectomy — the removing of the whole lung.
  • wedge resection — such a surgery is applied to remove a small tumor in the lung.
  • segmental resection — the removing of a part of the lung but not the entire one.
  • Radiotherapy. Such a treatment can be used in combination with chemo drugs. X-rays destroy cancer cells that remained after the surgery or spread to other organs as the brain.
  • Chemotherapy. Such an option is applied to stop malignant cells growth and to destroy the rest of them after surgery.
  • Immunotherapy. Such a treatment is frequently used for some forms of non-small cell lung cancer. These are drugs that stimulate the patient’s immunity to fight cancer. Oncologists apply this therapy when other options are ineffective.
  • Targeted therapy. It is also used for non-small cell lung cancer. Such drugs are used to destroy malignant cells and prevent their division. Not every patient can be a candidate for this therapy.
