My grandad has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. what is the usual prognosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor: Successful treatment of lung cancer is generally based on the stage at presentation. The more advance the stage, the lower the chances of cure. Advanced lung cancer is usually not surgically resectable, and is treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation.
