The new medicine Tagrisso for people with aggressive non-small cell lung cancer could be covered by Taiwan's national health insurance (NHI) system as early as April to help patients with the high cost of the treatment, the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) announced Tuesday.
Lung cancer happens because some cells in the lungs undergo abnormal changes due to mutations or genetic alterations, which transforms normal cells to uncontrollable growth that leads to cancerous cells.
There are different types of treatment options available and it all depends on several factors including :
• The type of lung cancer you have (small cell or non-small cell)
• The size and position of the cancer.
• How advanced your cancer is (the stage) and finally,
• Your overall health.
Deciding what treatment is best for you can be a difficult choice, so do speak to your doctor for the best recommendation.
