Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of lung is very rare cancer.
It is very notorious in spread.
If detected in early stage (stage 1-2) then surgery can be done.
But if detected in late stages (stage 3-4) then only chemotherapy with radiotherapy are the treatment options.
Along with these, palliative treatment in the form of pain management, nutritional supplements etc are helpful.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your father.
Thanks.
