I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Organ toxicities may be more problematic in the elderly, but in most tumours, the efficacy of chemotherapy is not age dependent. Chemotherapy, where indicated for advanced cancer, can therefore be safely and effectively used in selected elderly patients. Managing advanced cancer in the elderly is an increasing problem.

Dear user, it is not necessary that only exposure to smoke causes lung cancer. There have been cases where people who are not exposed to smoke or cigarettes in any form but they have lung cancer. It is completely based on genetics and the body's immunity. You can consult me for more doubts regarding this online by clicking on my photo and booking an appointment however, if you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.

आमतौर पर स्टेज 1 और स्टेज 2 में सर्जरी की जाती है, जबकि स्टेज 3 और स्टेज 4 में सर्जरी, कीमो और रेडिएशन में से किन्हीं दो का कॉम्बिनेशन इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। कौन-से दो तरीके इस्तेमाल होंगे, यह मरीज की हालत देखकर डॉक्टर तय करते हैं।

After 2–5 years: the risk of stroke drops to that of someone who does not smoke, according to the cdc. After 5–15 years: the risk of mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder cancer is reduced by half. After 10 years: the risk of lung cancer and bladder cancer is half that of someone who currently smokes.

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.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, perfinidone is the mainstay treatment. In this condition, lung becomes like rope fibres, the size of the lungs reduces and hence there is difficulty in breathing (dam chadna) and cough is present.
