My granddad had radiotherapy for lung cancer four months ago. What does: confirm treatment response in the lower lobe has become more necrotic mean? Is it good or bad?

  • Hi JRR necrotic tissue is dead tissue, radiotherapy can cause this. Whether that means the tumour is dead you would have to ask the oncologist. X
