Stage 4 Lung Cancer

Xalkori is very successful in causing tumor shrinkage in most patients whose tumors have an ALK fusion. Efficacy is usually measured by tumor shrinkage, time to progression or survival.

There are many sources of information about these complementary therapies on the internet, but most are self-serving (the source of the information stands to profit from the alternative therapy). I am convinced that modern cancer therapies can be effective and that they should not be delayed to try complementary therapies. If there are no standard therapies available, complementary therapies are reasonable. This does not mean that a lung cancer patient should not try to eat a healthy diet during therapy, but I recommend that patients do not take megadoses of any natural or alternative supplement.
