Yes, if it's caught soon enough. There are a number of treatment options available, including surgery, chemo, and different kinds of radiation treatments. For anything more detailed than that, you would have to work with the physicians.

Yes, it can be cured but much depends upon the stage of the disease and the overall health of the patient. Lung cancer is difficult to treat and has often spred or metastasized leading many people to assume that it is an incurable disease. You should also keep in mind that there are different types of lung cancer . . both primary and secondary, and some are easier to cure than others.
Cancer Research UK: Is lung cancer curable?

My son had secondary cancer that traveled to his right lung. With chemotherapy the spots disappeared and have not come back.
Any cancer has the potential to be cured, but it can be hard.

It depends on how far the cancer has spread among other things. If you catch it in time and get treatment you will have a good chance for survival. My husband was diagnosed March 20th. He has no symptoms. By the time he was diagnosed it was everywhere.He went thru radiation, chemo, gamma knike procedire and took a drug called tarceva. It was too late Sadly he passed June 6th. If you or a loved one has or even think you have lung cancer get to a doctor now. Start treatment asap dont wait til its too late, it may save your life. Good luck

A friend of mine has lung cancer - the docs are going to remove the affected part of her lung. I guess that is considered a cure.

Think about it for just a minute.
1) What is the problem? CANCER
2) What’s your diet? BAD
3) What is your body's PH level? ACIDIC
4) Are you over/underweight?
5) Do you smoke/drugs/drink?
6) Is CANCER the problem or the reaction to different problem?
7) Have you ever heard of Candida?
8) Do you want to change your life forever?
CANCER IS A LIVING CELL! IT SURVIVES BY YOU HAVING A ACIDIC PH LEVEL, CHANGER PH LEVEL TO ALKALINE AND CANCER WILL DIE OFF BY THEM SELF!
I hate to tell you, but the drug companies are rich and powerful, THEY WANT MONEY!!!!! THEY ARE A BIG BUSINESS!

If you were the CEO of a drug company would you want cures or just treatments (band aids)?

The only thing I gain from you reading this information is knowing you’ll be alive!
Personal responsibility for health has become a popular maxim for the 21st century. We are beginning to implement proactive approaches for health rather than simply reacting to disease. Along the way we are adopting a new perspective - that disease is unnecessary.
For too many years, we, as a nation, have had a tendency to leave the responsibility of our health to others. The general attitude has been, "I'll just do what I want and let the doctor fix me if something goes wrong." Our health care has been remedial; we wait until a problem crops up, then try to remedy it. We have proven that this system doesn't work. It's too painful for our bodies, too disruptive to our lifestyles, and too hard on our personal and national wallets.
With the dawning of a new century, we also have the dawning of greater personal responsibility for our own health. That's why checking pH - the acidity or alkalinity of your urine and saliva - will become as routine as checking your weight, credit card balance, or smoke alarm. Why? Because keeping tabs on your pH gives you an inside look at your health. Keeping track of your pH levels is an opportunity, once you understand the results, to work with your diet and lifestyle and take health into your own hands.
For our purposes, we define pH as your potential for health. pH monitoring reveals your body's ability to handle your diet and lifestyle, alerting you to potential problems before a disease sets in. Diagnosing and curing disease are reactive; whereas monitoring is proactive. The objective of pH monitoring is to find out if your diet and lifestyle are giving your body a fighting chance to be healthy.
This pH guide explains how to check the pH of readily accessible body fluids - urine and saliva - interpret the results, and formulate an appropriate plan of action for your pursuit of health.
Some people always ask me if all I say is true; how did "Aunt Millie" live to be 85? First, I say that I would like to offer my condolences for Aunt Millie's premature death. It is sad to see someone die so young. You see, I believe that the human body, like all mammals, should live to be well over 100 years old. When you compare the life spans of virtually all mammals, they live well in excess of what would be the equivalent of 120 human years. So, dying at 85 to me is dying young. Secondly, Aunt Millie lived the first half of her life where the amount of toxins being put into the body was a fraction of what it is today. I hear a lot about the alleged fact that we are living longer than ever before. This is categorically not true. Yes, it is true that people lie in nursing homes and hospital beds hooked up to life support devices that keep the physical body alive for years, but realistically these people are not living. The statistics on lifespan are fraudulent and false. The fact of the matter is a person 100 years old should be strong, flexible, full of life and energy, and have the physical capacity of what the average 40-year-old person has. It is amusing to me when you hear the American Medical Association classify someone in their 50s as being "older", and someone in their 60s as being "old". The most amazing part of this is that it is assumed that as you get older, it is "normal" to be on some type of medication. This simply is not true.

If found early enough, yes. But in advanced stages, no.

No, there is no cure for cancer. It can go into remission and stop growing, but you can never be "cured".
