Surgery is the primary treatment for each of these cancers.For laryngeal cancer,the larynx is removed (laryngectomy)and a permanent tracheostomy is created;depending on the extent of cancer,a simple or radical neck dissection may also be performed.Radiation may be used as a primary treatment or as an adjunct to surgery.For lung cancer,the tumor and surrounding lung tissue are removed;the location and stage of cancer determine whether pneumonectomy (removal of entire lung),lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe),or segmental resection (removal of a lung segment)is performed.Radiation and chemotherapy are used in conjunction with surgery or in situations where the tumor is inoperable.
