Surgical intervention is a key treatment option for lung cancer. The specific type of surgery depends on the tumor's location within the lung. Procedures can range from removing a small portion of the lung (wedge resection or segmentectomy) to more extensive resections. If an entire lobe of the lung is removed, it is called a lobectomy. The removal of an entire lung, either the right or left, is termed a pneumonectomy. However, not all tumors are amenable to surgical treatment due to factors such as their location, size, or the patient's overall health.
