The condition and the treatment
Lung cancer is grouped into 2 main types depending on how it looks under the microscope: small-cell lung cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer. Cancer that is described as being locally advanced or metastatic has spread to the surrounding tissues or other parts of the body. When it is described as locally recurrent, it means that it has come back again in the lungs.
Nintedanib (Vargatef) is an anticancer drug. It works by stopping the cancer growing.
