What treatments are available for lung and kidney cancer?
For different type and grade of cancer within will be different modalities of the treatment ! eg.For Lung Lymphoma nearby is a Injections available called MEBTHERA which proved deeply good within one of my patient ! (Of course it is terribly costly !One injection cost Indian Rs.1 lac 20000 and such six injection at three week interval was advise !So in some chemotherapy first and than followed by radio psychoanalysis and or surgery ! See there are simply three modality (1)Chemotherapy (2)Radiotherapy and (3)Surgery Of course all at hand is applied but what should be the first is to be decided on seeing the long-suffering ! Always YouRsmE

The key treatments for lung and kidney cancers are alike as most cancers.
1) surgery (if possible)
2) chemotherapy
3) radiation
Lesser used treatments:
4) interferon for kidney cancer
5) RF abalation
Recently, some targeted anti-angiogenesis therapy have be approved for certain lung and kidney cancer situations. These drugs target proteins produced by the cancer cell that promote growth of new blood supply for the tumors.
