The main kinds of treatment for this rare form of cancer are chemotherapy, radiotherapy as well as surgery. Chemo can be given in the form of a number of drugs either by IV or as an oral tablet. the most ordinary drugs for this cancer are:
Pemetrexed (Alimta)
Cisplatin (Platinol)
Carboplatin (Paraplatin)
Gemcitabine (Gemzar)
Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
Mitomycin
Raltitrexed (Tomudex)
Vinorelbine (Navelbine)
The surgery is very specialised as well as so not offered at many places, so you will need to enquire about this as well as find out where it is available incase it is needed
All the best
