WHAT PEMETREXED ACCORD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pemetrexed Accord is a medicine used in the treatment of cancer.
Pemetrexed Accord is given in combination with cisplatin, another
anti-cancer medicine, as treatment
for malignant pleural mesothelioma, a form of cancer that affects the
lining of the lung, to patients who
have not received prior chemotherapy.
Pemetrexed Accord is also given in combination with cisplatin for the
initial treatment of
patients with advanced stage of lung cancer.
Pemetrexed Accord can be prescribed to you if you have lung cancer at
an advanced stage if
your disease has responded to treatment or it remains largely
unchanged after initial
chemotherapy.
Pemetrexed Accord is also a treatment for patients with advanced stage
of lung cancer whose disease
has progressed after other initial chemotherapy has been used.
