lung cancer

Is there any difference between lung cancer and another cancer that has
spread to your lungs? Do all cancers in the lung have the same prognosis?
Do they all react the same way to treatment? Thanks.

One's a primary; the other's a met. So melanoma spread to the lung, is
melanoma (in the lung).

Depends on the type and staging. It has often spread before there's a chance
for cure.

Primary lung cancers (and their treatments) are listed here

A primary site of lung cancer is very different than colon or breast cancer
that has spread to the lungs which is considered mets to the lungs.

Here is a local number you can call for live information

Cancer is one of the biggest killers around the world. In America
alone, 25% of all deaths are related to cancer.

Many people think cancer as a single problem but in fact, it is a
number of problems spread throughout the body.

Yet it is possible to cure naturally..

There are two ways cancer is 'cured'. One is by standard medicine ie
surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The other is by natural remission
where the body's immune system recognises the cancer as a foreign body and
fights it off.
This second 'natural' remission is often mistaken for cure by 'natural
medicine' when it coincides with a person using these substances. By the
same logic it could be cured by Mars bars, Cheerios, Duff beer etc. These
substances have the same effect on tumours as shark cartilage, Maroon bush
juice, pawpaw leaf extract and laertril but taste infinitely better and are
metabolically and nutritionall far superior. As proof I have been on the
Mars bar diet for forty five years and have remained cancer free (touch
wood)
