Blood test to aid better detection of lung cancer.

My husband had a liter and a half of fluid removed from area between lung and chest wall. The diagnosis now is stage 4 and he begins treatment on Wednesday. He will be on carboplatin, Alimta, and keytruda. How has keytruda worked for you? I wasn’t able to take it and just would like to hear from others

EGFR mutations on exon 20 and exon 21
Hello, I'm 42M, and I've just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My PD-L1 is between 30 and 40%, and I have EGFR S768I (exon 20) and EGFR L858R (exon 21) mutations. Is it normal to have more than one EGFR mutation? I'm starting treatment on osimertinib, how effective is this treatment?

I completed five of the six infusions in the VISION clinical trial before I was excluded due to low hemoglobin. The initial and main cause of the low hemoglobin was my bone marrow transplant in late 2017, but the level continued dropping. Lutetium reduced my PSA by about 300 per infusion, in a linear

New Drug Combination Shows Promising Activity in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients.
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) now have more improved treatment options compared to standard of care with the addition of several new agents called immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Despite these changes, many patients still develop progressive disease after ICI treatment. In a new

Don’t know where to turn
My dad has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer he’s 90, he just sits in a chair all day because he can’t breathe but no one is helping us, we’ve asked for oxygen but they have said it won’t make any difference, surely this will help him breathe better. We don’t know where to turn it’s heartbreaking

I’m disappointed at not having targeted therapy!
So I had the results back and Ive been scheduled to start chemo in 2 weeks. I must admit I’m a bit disappointed at not being able to have the targeted therapy. I’d almost pinned the hope on these newer drugs and so being told I didn’t have the right mutation was a bit of a blow. The newer drugs all seem
