For lung cancer treatment, tumor genetics are also an important part of the treatment.
Based on the mutation, certain tablets are used to treat it.
In early stages, surgery is recommended and followed by chemotherapy.
In stage 3, certain patients are given chemo and radiation to curb it.
Immunotherapy is also given to prevent the recurrence of the cancer.
In stage 4, the cancer has metastasized.
