A) Surgery to remove tumor
B) Radiation therapy
C) Chemotherapy
D) Stem cell transplant
E) Monoclonal antibody
Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Although all forms of lung cancer are serious and potentially fatal diagnoses, individuals with small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, and large cell lung cancer often face prognoses that are worse than those associated with squamous cell lung cancer. Treatment methods for NSCLC include surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic chemotherapy. These treatments may be used singly or in combination. Stem cell transplant is not utilized in lung cancer. New trials are exploring the use of monoclonal antibodies but have not been approved by the FDA at this time.
