Lung cancer at stage 4 is advanced, meaning it has spread beyond the lungs. While a complete cure is challenging, treatments can help manage the disease and improve quality of life.
- Treatment Goals: Focus on managing cancer, slowing progression, and reducing symptoms.
- Treatment Options: May include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or combinations, based on cancer characteristics.
- Individual Factors: Age, health, and tumor markers influence treatment choices.
- Supportive Care: Palliative care is crucial for symptom management and comfort.
Consult an oncologist for personalized advice. Advances in treatment have improved survival and quality of life even at this stage.

There's also some discomfort in my armpit area. Could this be something serious like cancer, or can it be treated with medicines? Would I need surgery for this?

I'm a bit concerned because about a year ago I started feeling some pain in my breast and I kind of brushed it off. Now I've noticed a lump there and it's kind of painful. I'm really worried about what this might mean. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
