WHAT PEMETREXED LILLY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Pemetrexed Lilly is a medicine used in the treatment of cancer.
Pemetrexed Lilly 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 Lilly is also given in combination with cisplatin for the
initial treatment of patients
with advanced stage of lung cancer.
Pemetrexed Lilly can be prescribed to you if you have lung cancer at

after initial chemotherapy.

of lung cancer whose disease has
