After a diagnosis of lung cancer, your doctor will review your treatment options with you. Treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can vary depending on the stage of your lung cancer. Beyond the stage of cancer, treating non-small cell lung cancer involves many factors. You and your cancer treatment team will work together to find the treatment (or treatments) that work best for you.
