How do we treat small cell lung cancer

At present, we have a lot of experience in the treatment of small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a common symptom of lung cancer. Many patients feel that small cell lung cancer is more difficult to treat, but in fact there are some special methods to treat small cell lung cancer.

Clinical practice shows that small cell lung cancer is more sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of small cell lung cancer. At the same time, chest radiotherapy can improve the local control rate and thus improve the long-term survival rate.

Of course, the principles of chemoradiotherapy for small cell lung cancer should also be noted. For patients with clinical T1-2N0M0, radical resection and lymph node dissection can be performed first. If the pathological stage remains unchanged, adjuvant chemotherapy can be performed without radiotherapy. If there is lymph node metastasis, chemotherapy plus radiotherapy is required. For patients who are not suitable for surgery and whose PS condition and lung function permit, conventional concurrent chemoradiotherapy is recommended, otherwise sequential chemoradiotherapy is given. Therefore, the above principles must also be followed in the treatment of small cell lung cancer.

Small cell lung cancer is highly sensitive to radiotherapy and anticancer drug treatment. Therefore, regardless of whether it is in the limited or extensive stage, surgery is generally not recommended for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. Instead, whole-body radiotherapy or chemotherapy is the main treatment, combined with biological immunotherapy, for better results.

So, now we know how to treat small cell lung cancer, but any treatment method requires suitable patients. Never treat it blindly. You should take the correct method under the guidance of a doctor, especially when facing a serious disease like lung cancer.
