Non-Smoker and Non-Drinker Diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer with Brain Metastasis! Next-Generation Gene Sequencing Helps in Precision Medication, Resulting in Significant Improvement in Advanced Cancer Patient's Condition

Reported 10 months ago

Lung cancer is no longer exclusive to heavy smokers or elderly individuals. A 36-year-old non-smoker and non-drinker, Mr. Zhang, was diagnosed with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with brain metastasis after experiencing cough and breathing difficulties for a month. Traditional chemotherapy only offered a limited survival time, but with the encouragement of Dr. Xia, Mr. Zhang used next-generation gene sequencing to choose the correct oral targeted therapy drug, leading to a dramatic improvement in his condition. After 2 years and 6 months of treatment, Mr. Zhang has successfully returned to normal life. The availability of targeted therapy drugs in Taiwan and the implementation of next-generation gene sequencing by the National Health Insurance Administration have facilitated more effective and personalized treatment plans for cancer patients.
