Can lung cancer be treated with minimally invasive surgery?

Can minimally invasive surgery be performed for lung cancer?

The main disadvantage of minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer is that the surgical treatment is not thorough and is prone to recurrence, so selective treatment should be performed based on individual circumstances.

For lung cancer patients, the pathological type and stage should be actively clarified, and then appropriate treatment methods should be adopted to try to control the progression of the disease and improve the patient's quality of life. Minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer should be considered based on the patient's lung cancer site, condition, and physical condition.

How long can you live with advanced small cell lung cancer?

How long can patients with advanced small cell lung cancer live is not uniform. Some patients have good control effects and the cancer cells do not metastasize to distant sites. In this case, the 5-year survival rate can reach 20% to 30%.

Small cell lung cancer is the most malignant type of lung cancer, and usually does not last more than a year. The prognosis of small cell lung cancer in the late stage is poor, and the survival period is generally only 3-5 months, which varies from person to person.

What is the short-term cure rate of small cell lung cancer?

Small cell lung cancer accounts for 20%-50% of lung cancer, and its characteristics are high malignancy and easy metastasis. Comprehensive treatment uses chemotherapy. If there are still localized lesions that have not metastasized, active treatment should be given to reduce cancerous tissue lesions, or early surgery should be chosen to remove cancerous tissue lesions, and the survival rate is still very high.

The cure rate of small cell lung cancer is relatively low because the small cells develop relatively quickly. If the disease is not treated in time, it may suddenly turn into mid-stage or late-stage small cell lung cancer.
