What is stage 2B small cell lung cancer?

1. Small cell lung cancer stage 2B is mid-stage lung cancer.

2. According to the latest TNM staging standard for lung cancer, there are usually two situations for stage 2B lung cancer: one is that the tumor size is between 5-7 cm and there is no lymph node metastasis. The other is that the tumor is less than 5 cm but there is lung lymph node metastasis.

3. In stage 2B of small cell lung cancer, the lesions may not be widely infiltrated, and there are no more enlarged lymph nodes around them. The lesions may be relatively small and relatively limited. In this case, many symptoms are not too obvious, and some show pneumonia-like symptoms such as cough, sputum, and blood in the sputum. If the preoperative diagnosis is stage 2B, surgery is recommended as soon as possible. The lung lobe is mainly removed by thoracotomy or thoracoscopic surgery. If the pathological diagnosis is stage 2B, only drug treatment is required. It is recommended to use docetaxel injection, paclitaxel injection, irinotecan hydrochloride injection, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Once you find any discomfort symptoms, go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the disease.
