Editor's note:
Bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) comprises only a small percentage of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinomas, but its unique characteristics have enabled researchers to identify improved therapeutic strategies for BAC patients over the past few years. To gain some perspective on how these strategies have affected outcomes, Medscape spoke with Vincent A. Miller, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

Your Dr. will work with you however you want to treat this. It will probably start of with a combination of radiation & chemotherapy. Surgery is usually last. Good luck. In spite of all the horror stories we read & hear treating CA is getting better & better. Your dr. may not be able cure you but he can buy you quite a chunk of time.
