Which statement by a client with stage 1 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) indicates an understanding of staging and treatment?
A) "I only need surgery."
B) "I need surgery and chemotherapy."
C) "I need surgery, followed by radiation and chemotherapy."
D) "Treatment will not help me."
A) "I only need surgery."
Explanation: A) Surgery alone may be the treatment of choice when NSCLC is localized with no regional lymph node involvement and no metastases (stages 0 and I).With stage IB non-small cell cancer, chemotherapy and radiation may be included to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. For stage II through stage IV cancer, surgery depends on a variety of factors, including the presence and extent of metastasis. If surgery is performed and it is determined that the stage is higher than stage 1, radiation and/or chemotherapy may be added to the treatment plan to help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
