		<description><![CDATA[There are two main forms of lung cancer: small cell and non-small cell. The latest treatment protocols of each are very different.
Chemotherapy is a rather toxic mix of different drugs given intravenously or orally. These medicines enter into the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, and are able to destroy the cancerous cells no matter where they are in the body. Although chemotherapy is designed to kill the cancer cells, it kills normal cells as well, which is why doctors will want to keep a close eye on your side effects.
Chemotherapy may include anti cancerous drugs often in combination like cisplatin, which is often given by intra-venous route in patients with lung cancer. However, the effectiveness of chemotherapy for lung cancer depends primarily on type of lung cancer and extent of it’s spread. If metastasis is extensive in organs such as the liver, kidney, bone etc. or if it&#8217;s a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lung Cancer, considered one of the more aggressive forms of cancer, develops in the tissues of the lungs, usually in the cells lining the air passages. It&#8217;s categorized according to four stages, with Stage 1 being the mildest (and least life threatening), and Stage 4 being the most severe (and most life threatening). These four stages are:
Stage I: the lung cancer is confined to the lung tissue alone (This stage has the highest hope of recovery)
Stage II: the lung cancer is confined to the lung tissue and the lymph nodes inside the lung
Stage III: the lung cancer is confined to the lung tissue and lymph nodes inside and outside of the lung
Stage IV: the lung cancer has spread to the liver, adrenal glands, bone, brain, and/or other sites.
The stage of development and the type of lung cancer, such as Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), ...]]></description>
