If bronchial cancer is treated when it is starting to form you are less likely to suffer any long-term consequences and cure rates are high. One treatment option is surgery, where a surgeon completely removes the cancerous growths on the bronchial tubes. If the cancer is extensive or has started to spread to other internal organs, radiation therapy is usually recommended to reduce the bronchi tumors. Radiation therapy delivers waves of energy into the body to destroy the cancer cells. It may also be combined with chemotherapy or drugs that help kill cancer cells.
