Talk to experienced oncologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
What does the CT report show. If it's locally advanced without actually invading surrounding structures, patient can be a candidate for neoadjuvant radiation and chemotherapy to downstage the disease followed by surgery. However if the disease is involving other organs like trachea, right atrium etc, then the treatment will be palliative like radiation, stenting, ablation of tumor etc
