Can't answer: There are too many variables. It all depends on what type (pathology) of lung cancer he has, the locations, the stage, his co-morbid conditions, and his age among other variables.

Depends: This is a very broad question. Depends what kind of cancer he has - small-cell or non-small-cell, and what stage it is, mainly whether it has spread or not. Go to www.Uptodate.Com. Good luck!
