A member asked:
What do you suggest if my grandfather has advanced stage lungs cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: That depends on the stage and his overall medical condition. Patients with stage III disease and good health are generally candidates for combined chemo-radiation or sequential chemo followed by radiation. Patients with stage IV disease may receive chemotherapy or 'targeted' therapy depending on the genetic profile of the tumor. In stage IV, radiation is used as palliation.
