SpP(K), Professor of the Department of Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (FKUI) at a media meeting in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Friday (24/11).

“Treatment for lung cancer can be surgery, it can be radiotherapy, it can be chemotherapy, it can be targeted therapy, it can be immunotherapy. Not everyone has the same choice,” said Dr. Elisna.
