Dear All,
Almost one month ago my mother was diagnosed with NSCLC - stage III B. We are currently waiting for the results of examination of cerebrospinal fluid to start the therapy. In the meantime we were informed about new medicine - Zegata, which is used in China to cure lung cancer. Has anyone heard about this medicine?

Reply To: NSCLC – Zegata
I am well aware of the standard treatments for lung cancer in China, and they aren't very different from the treatments used everywhere else. I haven't seen or heard of any work with this agent before now, and I'm not able to find much about it very quickly. I'd be very surprised if it's actually curing lung cancer in China without any Chinese lung cancer specialists describing it to lung cancer specialists in the rest of the world or having it described as a more common, established treatment.

Dear Dr West, thank you very much for a prompt reply. We've been told that there is some tests done on Zegata, but the results should be revealed in 2014. This medicine is not approved for treatment in Poland but people suffering from cancer or their families are looking for every option.
