Chemotherapy and radiation therapy
Radiation therapy
It does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation
It images physiology rather than anatomy
It has a higher sensitivity and specificity in evaluating mediastinal masses than CT
A & C
B & C
Location of primary lung nodule in lung
Proximity of primary nodule to other organs
Stage of lung cancer at the time of diagnosis
Patient's age
Patient's family history
An abnormal structure of miRNA is the first biomarker that has been discovered to be linked to lung cancer
MiRNA only exists in patients with lung cancer
An abnormal structure of miRNA was found in lung cancer patients before nodules were visualized in CT imaging
The presence of abnormal miRNA can indicate lung cancer has metastasized into the bone

Lobectomy
Pneumonectomy
It targets malignancy in a specific part of the body
It is used in addition to other treatments
The treatment is given over a duration of time in specific cycles
The treatment targets malignancy throughout the entire body
Patients can develop resistance to the treatment over time
Chemotherapy
External beam radiation therapy
Surgery
Internal beam radiation therapy
Occur as respiratory symptoms
Are usually ignored by patients
Do not present themselves until after metastasis occur
Present themselves more often in SCLC than NSCLC
