[vc_row pix_particles_check=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Lung cancer has 4 stages, which are determined based on three main criteria:\r\n

1. Size and location of the tumor<\/h4>\r\nThe size of the tumor is critical for staging: for instance, a 2 cm tumor differs significantly from a 5 cm or 8 cm tumor. Additionally, a cancer located in the main airway differs in stage from one situated in a corner of the lung.\r\n

2. Whether it has spread to lymph nodes<\/h4>\r\nThe absence of lymph node involvement indicates an earlier stage (stage 1), while spread to lymph nodes signifies a more advanced stage (stage 2 or 3).\r\n

3. Whether it has metastasized to other organs<\/h4>\r\nIf not detected early, lung cancer can spread to the other lung, brain, bones, adrenal glands, liver, or other body parts. In this case, the cancer reaches its most advanced stage, stage 4.\r\n

Stage 4 Lung Cancer<\/h2>\r\nIn stage 4 lung cancer, the cancer has metastasized (spread) from the lung to other organs or tissues, such as bones, brain, adrenal glands, liver, or soft tissues. It is the most advanced stage of lung cancer.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLung cancers are divided into two main groups: “Small Cell”<\/strong> Lung Cancer and “Non-Small Cell”<\/strong> Lung Cancer. The treatments for these two groups differ.\r\n\r\nBelow are the treatment methods for both groups.\r\n
