Yes. This may happen in some cases. Typically after 6 cycles of double agent chemotherapy we keep patient on maintainance therapy with pemetrexed till disease progression. Else pt will need to be put on 2 nd line chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Other options include oral targeted therapy if she is positive for either of mutations like egfr, alk, ros 1, met, braf which can be checked on biopsy tissue.

Hi lybrate-user. Lung cancer does not carry a good prognosis. Your father in lawhas stage 4 disease which has been treated with chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
