Can anyone tell me how to treat the patient of lungs cancer?

Answer 1

Treatment for lung cancer can involve surgical removal of tumor, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, as well as combinations of these methods. The decision about which treatments will be appropriate for a given individual must take into account the localization and extent of the tumor as well as the overall health status of the patient.

EP regime

Etoposide 100-120 mg/m2 IV infusion day 1,2,3
Cisplatin (+hydration) 50-100mg/m2 IV infusion day 1
