Frequently Asked Questions
24. Are there any new chemotherapy drugs
available to treat lung cancer?
Newer chemotherapy drugs, known by the brand names Navelbine,
Taxol, Taxotere, Gemzar, Hycamtin, and Camptosar have produced
improved response rates in tests of each drug alone. Various
combinations of the new drugs with traditional agents, such as
cisplatin and carboplatin, are now either in clinical trials or
have reported early results of the trials. (Answer continues
