Hi
Your younger brother needs to dp PET CT scan to see first which stage of lung cancer is he suffering from.
Then he needs to do biopsy from the space occupying lesion in lung to find the subtype of lung cancer.
I would also suggest u do EGFR and ALK mutation test from biopsy sample.
If it is stage 4 then palliative chemotherapy is the only option.
If you have further query i will be happy to help.
Regards
DR De
