Metastatic Lung Cancer: Symptoms, Stages, Treatment, Prognosis – Verywell Health
Metastatic lung cancer is when cancer starts in the lungs and spreads to a distant organ. Learn about the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Metastatic lung cancer is the most advanced lung cancer stage where the disease has spread (metastasized) to distant organs. It is sometimes referred to as stage 4 cancer. It can occur with any type of lung cancer, including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC).
Although metastatic lung cancer is challenging to treat, newer targeted drugs and immunotherapies are increasing survival times and quality of life in people with this advanced cancer.
