See below: Oncologist's team can provide excellent care, but if u wish to try that along with alternative therapies, contact the cancer centers of america (888-417-1667) or check their site: http://www.Empowereddoctor.Com/8117/cancer-treatment-centers-america/ be aware, they are for-profit hospitals.

Chemoradiation: Stage IV nsclc is best treated by chemotherapy and radiation. While a cure is possible, the expectation is a slightly longer survival. If that is not warrented, then supportive or comfort care is advisable.
