What is Lung Cancer? Types, Stages, and Treatments
Posted in Guides, Lung Cancer
Lung cancer develops when abnormal cells in the lungs begin to multiply uncontrollably, forming a tumour that can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
What to Do When One Cancer Tumour Grows but the Rest Are Stable (Stage 4 Cancer Advice)
Posted in Guides, Videos, Metastatic Disease, Lung Cancer
If just one or two areas of your stage 4 cancer are growing while the rest stays stable, you may be experiencing oligoprogressive disease. Stereotactic radiotherapy is a highly precise local therapy that can target these lesions while keeping you on your current systemic treatment. This personalised approach can be used in lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers to delay switching therapies.

Quickly accessible, proven cancer treatment tailored to meet your needs.
Targeted therapies are a type of cancer treatment that focus on specific changes (mutations) or markers in cancer cells that help them grow and spread. These treatments are designed to block those changes, like cutting off the cancer’s power supply, without harming as many healthy cells.
How are they different from chemotherapy?
Unlike chemotherapy, which affects all fast-growing cells (including healthy ones), targeted therapies zero in on specific parts of cancer cells. This makes them more precise, often with fewer side effects.
How do I know if targeted therapy is right for me?
Your doctor can order special tests—called biomarker or molecular testing—to look for specific mutations in your tumour. If your cancer has one of these mutations, a targeted therapy may be an option.
What types of cancer can be treated with targeted therapy?
Targeted treatments are available for many types of cancer, including:
Lung cancer
Skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell)
Breast cancer
Colorectal cancer
Leukaemia and lymphoma
Kidney cancer
What are the most commonly used targeted therapies for lung cancer?

How are these treatments given?
Most targeted therapies are taken as pills or capsules at home, usually once or twice a day. In some cases, they may be given by infusion at a hospital or clinic.
How long does targeted therapy take?
Treatment duration varies. Some people stay on targeted therapies for months or even years, as long as the treatment continues to work and side effects remain manageable.
What is a cancer clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a carefully designed medical study that tests new ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat cancer. These trials help researchers determine whether new treatments are effective and safe, and can provide patients with access to the latest therapies.
Why should I consider joining a clinical trial?
Clinical trials may offer access to promising new treatments that aren’t yet widely available. For some people, especially when standard treatments haven’t worked, a trial can be a valuable option. You’ll also be helping future patients by contributing to cancer research.
Are clinical trials safe?
Clinical trials adhere to strict safety protocols and are closely monitored by doctors, researchers, and ethics committees. Patient safety is always the top priority. You’ll be carefully watched and can choose to leave the trial at any time.
Who can join a clinical trial?
Each trial has its own criteria. These may include your type and stage of cancer, past treatments, overall health, or specific genetic markers in your cancer. If you are considering a clinical trial, together we can check if you qualify.

SABR can be a useful treatment when the cancer has spread to a small number of places
Every breakthrough cancer treatment starts with a simple idea: Can we find a better way? Breakthroughs in cancer drug therapies are incredibly important because they offer a more targeted approach to treatment. These exciting advancements have the potential to significantly enhance survival rates, prolong disease-free periods, and enrich the overall quality of life for those touched by cancer.

Breakthrough Drug Therapies
Thanks to the incredible advancements in modern science, we now have access to treatments that are becoming more personalised, precise, and often even more effective in our fight against cancer than ever before. It's exciting to see several promising new drug trials emerging, including immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and innovative drug combinations that hold great potential.
Targeted therapies for cancer are at the forefront of breakthrough treatments designed to attack specific changes or weaknesses in cancer cells that enable them to grow. These therapies work by focusing on specific changes—called mutations—in cancer cells. These changes help the cancer grow and spread. Think of it like using a key that fits only one lock: targeted therapies are designed to work only on cancer cells with certain “locks”, leaving more healthy cells unharmed. The advantages of targeted therapy are extensive and summarised briefly below:
