Is Stage 4 Lung Cancer Treatable? | Dr Jennifer Leong

When treating Stage 4 lung cancer, how do doctors determine the best treatment to give? Why could targeted therapy be a preferred treatment choice over chemotherapy? What are 'Next Generation Sequencing Testing' and 'PD-L1 Testing'? How does the tumour mutation you have affect the treatment you receive? What are immunotherapy and radiotherapy and how do they treat cancer? How is lung cancer treated if it spreads to the brain? When should palliative care be introduced in the treatment journey?

Clinical Oncologist Dr Jennifer Leong answers all these important questions and more.
