Are there any cures for lung cancer

Are there any cures for lung cancer?
I find out my grandma has lung cancer yesterday. Are there any cures for it to make it go away? & How long can she live if they treat it? She is like 80 years old btw.

There is no cure I'm afraid but there are treatments that may make it go away. The reason they don't call them cures is because sometimes after the treatment the cancer comes back but that's not the case for everyone. Cancer is a very complicated illness and there's no way to tell how long she'll live without knowing what stage she's in, what her general health is and how treatable the cancer is. I know you're probably very worried about this but you need to talk to her and see what her doctor said to her about it...that's the only way you're going to get some really accurate information. You could try calling her doctor and he or she could probably give you some general information but the doctor won't be able to go into detail unless your grandmother gives him or her permission to tell you everything.

There are many variables when it comes to lung cancer treatments and the type of lung cancer. Small cell grows and spreads rapidly, but responds well to treatment. Non Small Cell is a bit slower in growing but often does not respond well to chemo. If the tumor is localized, they may want to do surgery to remove the tumor, or perhaps the infected lobe. Survival rate depends on each individual, some people last years, others less than a year.
