Answer Paracetamol is a pain reliever, somewhat like aspirin. WIKIPEDIA provides a very specific answer as follows: Paracetamol (INN) (IPA: /ËpÃ¦rÉËsiËtÉmÉl, -ËsÉtÉ-/) or acetaminophen (USAN), is the active metabolite of phenacetin, a so-called coal tar analgesic.
There are a number of chemotherapeutic regimens that can be used to treat NSCLC. These are usually reserved 1) for higher stages of lung cancer (stages III and IV) or 2) as adjuvant therapy, that is, to be used after surgery or 3) as neoadjuvant therapy, which is treatment before surgery.
Chemotherapy is often not as effective as radiation therapy or surgery to treat NSCLC that has spread to the brain. For this reason, NSCLC that has spread to the brain is treated with radiation therapy, surgery, or both. Most patients with brain metastases from NSCLC receive radiation therapy to the entire brain. This can cause side effects such as hair loss, fatigue, and redness of the scalp.
