New targeted therapy pills like Osimertinib or Lorlatinib are used for specific mutations. Please consult an oncologist for proper advice.

Targeted pills like Osimertinib are highly effective but can be extremely expensive in India. Make sure to discuss generic options, patient assistance programs, and insurance coverage with your oncologist to plan the costs.

My uncle was prescribed a targeted pill called Osimertinib for his lung cancer, and it really helped him manage things better. It depends heavily on the genetic mutation of the tumor, so a biopsy test is crucial.

My dad is on targeted therapy pills for lung cancer. The doctor did a gene test first to match the pill to his specific cancer type. It is way easier than standard chemo, but you must consult a top oncologist.
