Extending lung cancer lifes


Late-stage lung cancer patients may have new hope with a promising new drug that is currently under clinical study.

A NEW drug can help advanced lung cancer patients live longer, and may aid in treating other kinds of cancer, researchers said on Monday.

If the initial results are confirmed in a Phase III clinical study already underway, it would be the first treatment developed in the past decade that can improve outcomes for patients with late-stage lung cancer.
