Stage 4: Lung cancer that has spread to bone is very serious. At this stage one utilizes therapy for palliation. If there is bone pain, localized RT can be utilized. If tolerated various combinations of chemo may be employed to prolong survival. Occassionally newer therapies have been employed using checkpoint inhibitors.
