What is stage 2 lung cancer?

Stage 2 lung cancer refers to the extent or progression of the disease. It is a classification used to describe the size of the tumor and whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the lung. In stage 2 lung cancer, the tumor is larger than in stage 1 but still confined to the lung or nearby lymph nodes. Treatment options for stage 2 lung cancer usually involve a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to individual circumstances.
