Chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Chemotherapy is often the treatment of choice for those with advanced lung cancer. Sometimes chemotherapy is recommended to reduce the size of the tumor prior to surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and/or may be used after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy).
