Treatment for LAM so far...
Although great strides have been made in researching the disease, there is no cure for LAM. However, treatment with the drug sirolimus (also known as rapamycin or Rapamune) as well as everolimus (also known as Afinitor) may improve lung function in some women with LAM. Oxygen therapy is required for women with advanced lung disease. Lung transplantation is often considered for very advanced disease. While many women with LAM add several years to their lives through lung transplantation, it is not a cure.
