Overview
The treatment of a Pancoast lung cancer may differ to that of other types of non-small cell lung cancer due to its position and close proximity to vital structures (such as nerves and spine) which may make surgery difficult to be undertaken. As a result, and depending on the stage of the cancer, treatment may often involve radiation and chemotherapy given pre-operatively (neoadjuvant treatment) prior to surgery.
