A member asked:

My daughter has gastric cancer stage 4. they just told us that the cancer is in her brain. she is in terrible pain. she is being treated at kaiser. is immunotherapy a good option?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treatment considerations must be made by those with the best knowledge of the full parameters of the case, including recent test findings. Some immunotherapy treatments have uncomfortable side effects and offer limited benefit. At some point a decision must be made on whether the treatment improves the quality of life or just prolongs the process of dying.
