Lung Cancer Treatment
Lung Cancer Treatment Options In Israel
Cancer of the lungs is extremely prevalent in both Israel and the United States. In fact, lung cancer is the type of cancer most likely to lead to death in men, and the third most likely type in women. Lung cancer is responsible for about 30% of all cancer deaths among Americans.
Lung cancer is classified into two major types based on pathological examination, small cell, and non-small cell. Non-small cell lung cancer is more common by far, making up around 85 to 90% of all cases. Small cell lung cancer represents only about 10-15% of lung cancer diagnoses. At Sheba, we offer cutting-edge lung cancer treatment options.

Types
| Stage 0:
Also called carcinoma in situ. Abnormal cells have been detected in the lung, but there is no spread beyond the local area.
| Stage 1:
The tumor is under 3 cm in size and may have infiltrated into the deeper tissues of the lung. There is still no spread to the lymph nodes or other organ tissues.
| Stage 2:
The tumor has infiltrated nearby lymph nodes or the chest wall. There is still no spread to distant organs.
| Stage 3:
The tumor has infiltrated lymph nodes and possibly nearby organs, such as the trachea or esophagus.
| Stage 4:
The cancer is now metastatic throughout the body and has traveled to distant organs, such as the brain or bones.
