What are the drugs for treating small cell lung cancer

What drugs are used to treat small cell lung cancer?

1. Small cell lung cancer is divided into limited early stage, middle stage and extensive late stage. No matter which stage, except for the commonly used first-line chemotherapy regimen of poliposide platinum, irinotecan platinum and docetaxel platinum second-line regimen, there are no very effective drugs or suitable targeted drugs. At present, the clinical treatment of small cell lung cancer mainly relies on poliposide platinum.

2. The most clinically studied immune drugs, such as PD-1 and PD-L, can achieve long-term survival in many patients after use, especially PD-L1. Although the drug has not yet been marketed in China, some foreign studies have shown that when used for small cell lung cancer, they can achieve long-term survival.

Is surgery or conservative treatment better for lung cancer?

Advanced lung cancer cannot be cured by surgery. The main treatment methods are synchronous radiotherapy, chemotherapy or palliative treatment such as chemotherapy. If lung cancer has no lymph node metastasis, such as hilar lymph node metastasis, mediastinal lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, and the tumor is relatively small, such as a tumor less than 5cm, surgery is very suitable at this time.
