How will lung cancer surgery affect my breathing?

Learn more about lung cancer at http://www.YouAndLungCancer.com Dr. Shanda Blackmon, professor of thoracic surgery at The Lung Institute at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, discusses how lung cancer surgery will affect your breathing. Although lung cancer surgery can affect your breathing differently depending on your general health and age, Dr. Blackmon describes 3 general factors that should be considered to determine how you will do after your surgery: the initial health of your lungs; how much lung is available to start with; and how much lung needs to be removed. She explains in further detail how this can be calculated to give you the most information about the potential benefits and risks, so that you can make the best decision for yourself. With so much to consider, she recommends that you need to have conversations with your entire multidisciplinary lung cancer team before choosing to proceed with surgery as your option.
