Lung cancer and its adversities can be lethal, if remains undiagnosed or left untreated. A multidisciplinary approach can successfully eliminate the cancer from lungs and patient may resume normal life after recovery,

Lung cancer
There are different sizes and stages of lung cancer, which are treated differently. Broadly, specialists categorize various types of lung cancer into two basic forms Non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.
The staging of lung cancer helps in deciding the severity of the disease,
course of treatment, and chances of survival. Detection of cancer at an early stage increases the chances of successful treatment and full recovery of the patient. A small legion located in one area is known as the first stage; a little larger tumor is called stage 2; spread within the lungs is called stage 3, and if it spread to other parts then termed as stage 4.

Researchers at McGill University and the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that a widely used anti-diabetic drug can boost the immune system and increase the potency of vaccines and cancer treatments. Their findings will be published June 3 in the journal Nature.
The discovery was made by Dr. Russell Jones, an assistant professor at McGill's Goodman Cancer Centre and the Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Yongwon Choi, PhD, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, and postdoctoral fellow Erika Pearce, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania. They discovered that the widely prescribed diabetes treatment metformin increases the efficiency of the immune system's T-cells, which in turn makes cancer and virus-fighting vaccines more effective.
