Adenocarcinoma in Situ or Ground Glass Opacity Nodules

I’ve got two stable ground glass small lesions (one 5 mm and another faint one 5x9mm) in my right lung and have been reading about other people’s experiences with them on the web.

On a different forum it is often stated that these lesions rarely grow large, but I thought it was the case that they can grow large but are not called AIS when they grow to larger than 3 cm so it is only a question of definition rather than related to the natural life history of these lesions.

Does standard chemo treat bone metastasis?

I have stage 4 NSCLC adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis. I started carboplatin Alimta Avastin chemo treatment and wondering if this triplet is effectively treating bone metastasis as well….. I am also receiving zoledronic acid every three weeks , but it does treat bone mets.

There are very limited publications related to effectiveness of standard chemo on bone metastasis. I’ve found that targeted drugs such Erlotinib and gifatinib are very effective in treating bone metastasis.
