Why stage matters
Treatment is often discussed in terms of limited-stage or extensive-stage disease. The extent of cancer and overall health inform the plan.[1]
How is treatment planned?
Chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation may be used depending on the situation. For recurrence, the team reviews earlier treatment and response.[1]
