Answer 1

Cisplatin, Vinblastine, DTIC are chemo drugs that have been used. Radiotherapy is used with widespread metastasis...

Biotherapy using Interferon, and Interleukins has also shown success rates...

Ask your oncologist about these drugs and whether they are suitable for the current staging of your disease...
