Statistics of the many lung cancer treatment operations are showing that they are indeed becoming better and improving the chances of reducing the spread of the disease in elderly people. Lung cancer being one of the most fatal forms of cancer once detected can easily benefit from the many forms of treatment now available. More advanced cancers that have not responded well to chemotherapy and other forms of treatment may necessitate the need to operate to remove the infected tissue and prevent the spread of the disease. Operations have successfully shown that they are effective even with the reduced lung capacity allowing patients to resume a quality life.
