After the surgical removal of the right lower lobe for stage 1B non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), chemotherapy may be recommended depending on specific factors such as the tumor's characteristics and the likelihood of cancer recurrence. Doctors sometimes advise chemotherapy for stage 1B NSCLC if there's a higher risk that the tumor could return. This is to help prevent the cancer from coming back.
