The following web site has an article from WCVB Boston about a new lung cancer treatment http://www.thebostonchannel.com/health/22918256/detail.html. This sounds very promising. A DNA test is needed to analyze patient tumors. Someone else posted this on another site but I thought I would post it here for anyone who might find it useful.
I've asked my doctor if I could have this DNA test to determine if I am a good candidate. I am stage IV, currently on Tarceva, hoping this new treatment will do the trick.
