Recurrent Stage: A cancer that has returned appearing in the lungs or in another part of the body. Treatment for recurrence can include be one of the following: Radiation treatment, chemotherapy, laser treatment, radiation therapy or surgical implant of devices to keep the airways open, clinical trial testing of new drugs.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer:
Non-small cell lung cancer uses a traditional staging system. Non-small cell lung cancer Lung Adenocarcinoma Stage III tumors may have many stages because they grow slower than small cell lung cancer.
Occult Stage: No tumor can be detected in the lung at this stage but cancer cells are found in the sputum. Lung cancer found at this early stage is often cured by surgery.
Stage 0: Cancer is found just in a local area of the lung and only in a few of the cells. Treatment may well be surgery or photodynamic therapy, as it has not yet grown through the top lining of the lung.
