Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Adenosquamous carcinoma of lung I'd not that common. Treatment depends on staging of cancer.
Staging depends on size of tumour, part of lung involved, distal metastasis present or not, lymphnodes involved or not etc.
So better to consult oncologist and get done bone scan, CT brain and abdomen to rule out distal metastasis.
According to this stage is decided. Initial stages (stage 1-2) are treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
While later stages (stage 3-4) are treated with palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
So better to consult oncologist and first determine stage of his cancer. On the basis of staging treatment should be done.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
