Lung Cancer: Stages
Lung cancer stages describe how large the tumour is and how far it has spread. Staging helps your care team choose the most effective treatment.
Stage I Lung Cancer
Stage I lung cancer is small and limited to the lung. It has not spread to nearby lymph nodes. Treatment often involves surgery or, for some people, focused radiotherapy.
Stage II Lung Cancer
Stage II lung cancer may be larger or may involve nearby lymph nodes. Treatment often includes surgery, with chemotherapy or other treatment recommended in some cases.
Stage III Lung Cancer
Stage III lung cancer is often called locally advanced. It may involve lymph nodes in the centre of the chest or nearby structures. Treatment often involves a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, with surgery in selected cases.
Stage IV Lung Cancer
Stage IV lung cancer has spread to distant parts of the body. Treatment often starts with targeted therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Radiotherapy or surgery may be used in selected situations to control symptoms or treat specific sites.

How Neumark Can Help
If you have a persistent cough, chest discomfort, or an abnormal scan, Neumark can help you get clear answers. Care is led by Dr Harish Mithiran, senior consultant thoracic surgeon, with assessment and follow-up coordinated at Gleneagles Hospital (Napier Road) and Mount Alvernia Hospital (Thomson Road). Testing may include imaging, bronchoscopy, and image-guided biopsy. Treatment is based on cancer type and stage and may include minimally invasive surgery (VATS, U-VATS, or robotic) and medical treatments such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy.
Book a consultation if you are concerned about lung cancer or a lung nodule.
