Advanced Alternative Lung Cancer Treatment
Stop feeling helpless – you still have options!
Lung cancer refers to the growth of a cancerous tumor in the lung. It is the number one cause of cancer death in men and women over the age of 35. Lung cancer has, in fact, taken more lives than colon, lymph, prostate and breath cancer combined. Lung
cancer originating from the end of the bronchial epithelium makes up 90% of all lung cancer cases.
Typical treatment options include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, however, treatment options are often limited because of the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. Many times surgery and radiation are not viable options as the tumors are proximal to vital structures in the lung tissue.
There are 2 categories of lung cancer:
1) Primary Lung Cancer - cancer that has originated from lung tissue;
2) Secondary Lung Cancer or lung metastasis - this is cancer from a different part of the body that has spread to the lungs and continues to grow there.
There are 2 main types of lung cancer:
1) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer which has three subtypes:
b) Large Cell Carcinoma- usually develops near the surface of the lungs;
c) Adenocarcinoma- commonly found in the mucous glands. Adenocarcinoma can spread through the blood stream.
2) Small Cell Lung Cancer- usually more aggressive than non-small cell and can spread quickly. This form of lung cancer is associated with smokers.
The combined 5-year survival rate for all stages of lung cancer is only 15%. If treated early before it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs with surgery, the average 5-year survival is about 50%. However, only 15% of people with lung cancer are diagnosed at this early, localized stage.
