What is the treatment for lung cancer caused after three years by metastasis from rectal cancer?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query, and I can understand your concern. Based on the history provided, your husband had rectal cancer three years ago. For which he had undergone surgery. He did not receive any additional treatment in the form of radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Now, after three years, follow-up imaging shows two spots in the lungs.

Considering these spots as recurrence from cancer, I would still go for aggressive treatment as this is considered a late recurrence. If possible surgical removal of lung Mets (metastasis) or SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) to lung Mets followed by chemotherapy could give the best chance of cure at this stage.

Everything will depend on location or the possibility of complete surgery. If you can provide me with more details, such as his imaging and other blood tests, I would be in a better position to help you.

So, if possible, resection of those lesions followed by pseudo adjuvant chemotherapy would be a way to go. I think you must have had this discussion with your treating oncologist and team. They would be in a better position to tell you in detail as they have access to his case records.
