1.
What Pemetrexed Pfizer is and what it is used for
Pemetrexed Pfizer is a medicine used in the treatment of cancer.
Pemetrexed Pfizer 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 Pfizer is also given in combination with cisplatin for the
initial treatment of patients with
advanced stage of lung cancer.
Pemetrexed Pfizer 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 Pfizer is also a treatment for patients with advanced stage
of lung cancer whose disease
has progressed after other initial chemotherapy has been used.
