2. CT scans are a lot more advanced than other imaging & diagnostic procedures. Here are some of their useful benefits:

- CT scans allow the radiologist to see detailed views of the lungs & the pleura
- CT scans help determine the location, extent & size of tumor masses residing in the lungs more accurately than x-rays
- CT scans can reveal thickening of the pleura by examining the absorption rates of varying thickness levels of tissues
- CT scans can also indicate lung cancer beyond the pleura within the chest wall or lymph nodes
- CT scans can help evaluate the conditions of the lungs

4. I agree with this study. Cancer has ripped right through my family, all except for my mom has died, and now my sister has it too, as well as leukemia. I find it interesting though that all of the family members who had cancer and died, were not killed by cancer. Without the cancer, they would have survived, but its not how they died.

9. There are various treatments for those suffering from lung cancer. Finding the best cancer treatment abroad is of utmost importance. As with any medical issue, the doctor will determine the best treatment for cancer based on the stage and type of cancer a patient has. One of the main forms of lung cancer treatments is through surgery, especially for those who have non-small cell lung cancer that has not spread to other areas of the body. Two common forms of cancer treatments are:
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation
Radiation therapy treatments are given to patients after a radiation oncologist determines an optimal course of treatment based on the stage of cancer a patient is in. Chemotherapy includes various drugs that are given by mouth or intravenously at various doses and frequencies, depending on doctor orders. A doctor specializing in medication treatments for cancer will determine the best medicine for fighting the tumor, as well as how long the treatment should last.
Cancer prevention as well as alternative cancer treatment options for patients is important, and many seek the advice of a cancer specialist for advice regarding the best cancer treatment centers as well as cancer treatments available today. Cancer treatment abroad offers international patients a choice for affordable and effective cancer treatment and care.
Treating lung cancer early increases the chances of survival, and is also lowers the risk of the cancer spreading to other areas of the body. It has shown to reduce lung pain, breathing pain and other chronic lung diseases. While lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, not everyone who gets cancer smokes, with 10-15% being non-smokers. It is important to get a yearly checkup to make sure all internal organs are functioning and cancers are screened for.
Check out facilities like the Almater Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico for world class accommodations and affordable medical care. In addition to the Almater Hospital, be sure to look at the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey for advanced medical technology and superior service.

12. I agree, My first lung cancer was found accidently when I was having a cardioversion in 2000 resulting in removal of my left lung. The next lung cancer in my right lung was found by Bronchoscopy. The X-RAY, CT Scan, PET Scans revealed nothing. The two cancers were treated by PhotoDynamic Therapy using " Photofrin" successfully in June 2007. My latest Bronchoscopy shows I am still clear.
