Stage III

Stage III lung cancer may involve nearby lymph nodes or structures around the lung.

Treatment is often more complex and may involve a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and, in selected cases, surgery.

A multidisciplinary oncology treatment approach can be particularly important at this stage.

Stage IV

Stage IV lung cancer has spread to distant parts of the body.

Treatment generally focuses on controlling the cancer, slowing disease progression, managing symptoms, and maintaining quality of life.

Depending on tumor characteristics, treatment may include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or combinations of these options.

Advances in oncology have provided more treatment possibilities for eligible patients with advanced lung cancer.

The Importance of Personalized Oncology Treatment

Two patients may have the same type and stage of lung cancer but receive different treatments.
