What are the treatments for small cell lung cancer? Learn about these three methods

After suffering from small cell lung cancer, many patients are weak. At this time, choosing the right method for treatment will lead to the deterioration of the disease and aggravate the condition. Generally, it is diagnosed and treated through surgical treatment, chemotherapy and combined treatment. Among them, the combined treatment method is more effective and can reduce the side effects of drugs on the body and avoid the impact of small cell lung cancer on the body.

Lung cancer is often referred to as lung cancer. There are many types of lung cancer, and small cell lung cancer is one of them. For the treatment of this type of disease, it is necessary to find the specific lesions, conduct pathological analysis, and use appropriate treatment effects to diagnose and treat to avoid the deterioration of the disease. So specifically, what are the treatments for small cell lung cancer?
1. Surgical treatment <br/>For patients with small cell lung cancer, as long as the cancer lesions are removed in time in the early stage of the disease, the deterioration of the disease can be alleviated. Generally, lung cancer diagnosed by histology or cytology can be surgically removed before the second stage. In addition, small cell lung cancer metastasizes earlier and is more malignant, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate treatment method according to the specific situation. If primary lung cancer occurs, surgical treatment can be used for diagnosis and treatment.
2. Chemotherapy <br/>The main treatment for small cell lung cancer is chemotherapy. Generally, the effect of chemotherapy will appear within twelve weeks after the treatment, and its efficacy will slowly increase. If medium-intensity chemotherapy is used, it will be better than conventional chemotherapy. If large doses of chemotherapy are used, it may not improve the efficacy, and the body will not tolerate it. Instead, it will make more patients weaker. Therefore, after the onset of small cell lung cancer, combined chemotherapy can be used for treatment. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be combined for diagnosis and treatment to achieve better treatment results.
3. Combined treatment method <br/>After the small cell lung cancer appears, it can also be treated with a combined treatment method. Effective chemotherapy drugs can be used, and drugs can be taken at the same time. The effect of this will be better than that of single-drug chemotherapy. In addition, bronchial artery angiography can be used for treatment, which can achieve better treatment effects and will not cause too many side effects to the body.
