Can lung cancer be treated successfully if caught in the early stages?

Also,what are the early signs?

I take it that's a no, with no replies. I thought not. I think it always leads to death eventually but drugs or ops just prolong life a bit.

Lung cancer, if caught in the early stages, can be cured. It also depends on the type of cancer & if it has metastatic spread.Some cancers can be completely removed by surgery and usually with radiation & or chemo for follow up. If caught late it can be a prognosis of 3-6 months. Early signs include difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, weakness, fever, loss of appetite, and nausea & vomiting in later stages. Sometimes people get a progression of the signs and a "cold that won't go away". It's always better to see a MD for further tests like X-rays, CAT, or MRI. So your answer is, yes.

Yes , it can. They can do several differnt treatments including removing a lung or part of one if necessaary.

Lung Ca sym: shortness of breath, pain in the chest, mass on a xray, increase cough mucus, and sometime nothing. Usually found when someone comes in with pnuemonia, or having a hard time breathing

IT can, but it's very rare....
most people put off symptoms as a common cold or something like allergies or bronchitis.
