A member asked:
What is treatment involving non-small cell carcinoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends upon stage: Early stage disease is usually treated by surgical resection. More advanced disease is usually treated by combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy and stage 4 disease is usually treated with chemotherapy alone or consideration of hospice for those with significantly far advanced disease.
