a. Lobectomy: This is the most common surgical procedure for lung cancer. It involves the removal of an entire lobe of the lung affected by cancer, along with the lymph nodes in the area. Lobectomy is typically performed for early-stage lung cancer.

b. Pneumonectomy: In cases where the cancer has spread extensively within the lung or involves a large portion of the lung, a pneumonectomy may be performed. This procedure involves the removal of the entire lung.

c. Segmentectomy/Wedge Resection: For small tumors or patients with compromised lung function, a segmentectomy (removal of a segment of the lung) or wedge resection (removal of a small wedge-shaped piece of lung tissue) may be performed instead of a lobectomy.
