Yes. It's a standard, well established treatment in many settings, particularly in combination with radiation for stage III NSCLC or for patients with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.

In the future, if you have a question about lung cancer, please ask it in the forum about lung cancer. It's in the same drop down menu you probably used to access this forum (under "Ask a Question about ____").

Good luck.

Welcome to Grace I am sure you will find this forum a place of great support, I am sure a faculty member will be by soon to offer some thoughts.

It would be helpful if you would expand your post a little more by perhaps giving a bit of background to your cancer and what treatment if any you have already had. Is the Etoposide being given alone or in combination with another agent.
