After seeing your uploaded reports,You need to do following things.
1.Correct Classification of Bronchial carcinoma.The report says C/W(compatible with)Bronchial Adenocarcinoma,a type of Non squamous cell carcinoma.But there are other subtypes like Acinar adenocarcinoma, Papillary adenocarcinoma,Bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma,Solid adenocarcinoma with mucin production with repeated Cyto histological examination by a pathologist.

Classification of Lung Cancer is very important to plan treatment or management.Since NSCLC are usually respond poorly to Chemotherapy and managed by surgery,sub types management varies depending on size of mass and its extension.Since every subtype has different rate of growth (fast or slow), location (central,acinar,Peripheral),extension (local or systemic),nature (pre malignant,malignant,benign), histocytological features analyzed at different stages (poor differentiation,well circumscribed),size (big,small,total spread in lungs),all of these factors determine prognostic values and success of any treatment.

2.Staging-Done accordingly to TNM classification and Stages are determined accordingly depending on above mentioned factors. Stages I,II,III or a,b,c etc.Staging is very important to determine changes and response to treatment depending on metastasis or invasions.This may indicate multi organ involvement or quality of healthy lung tissue etc.

3.Treatment-Multiple treatment options like Chemotherapy,Radiation, surgery,palliative care etc and each and every options has it own risk factors and complications leading to failure or success of the treatment.

All of the above mentioned pints are to be cleared out with out fail with your consulting Physician or Surgeon.This may not be a direct answer to your question since Lung Cancer has lot of clinical correlations to conclude whether it will be treated by medicine or surgery.Once you talk with your Doctor,then it can be planned accordingly.

Please keep us updated.Get some more questions if you have any.God Bless you!
