Some foods such as soy, tofu, tempeh, and oncom genistein also contain compounds that are antioxidants and powerful anti-tumor, which can stimulate the immune system. The mechanism works is to stimulate the restoration of the restoration of tumor cells into normal cells, especially in lung cancer.

The level of disease cure lung cancer is still very good if you are still at an early stage. The problem is very rare cancers detected at this point. If cancer cells have spread to other areas, treatment options are chemo therapy and radio therapy. If the cancer blocking the main air flow, can be used lasers to freeze the tumor, or keep open the flow of air with a stent or tube. -Symptoms of Lung Cancer.
