Are there alternatives for lung cancer besides surgery?
An new form of radiation therapy called radiofrequency ablation uses electrical energy delivered through a needle to destroy tumor cells by heat. This treatment is available at Mayo Clinic in FL and MN for patients with certain cases of lung cancer.

About Radiation Therapy
Radiation Therapy or Radiotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses energy as particles or waves to kill cancer cells. It is done by machines that send these waves directly into the cancer cells or tumor externally but it can also be delivered internally by placing radio active substances inside your body. It destroys cancer cells and good cells but it is directed as close as possible away from good cells to avoid damage.
