Can mid- to late-stage small cell lung cancer be cured?

Can mid- to late-stage small cell lung cancer be cured? If small cell lung cancer is diagnosed, it means fighting against death, especially for mid- to late-stage small cell lung cancer, where cancer cells have already metastasized and the prognosis is extremely poor. Today, let's take a look at whether mid- to late-stage small cell lung cancer can be cured:

Small cell lung cancer has the worst prognosis among lung cancers. Generally, surgery is not performed, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main treatments. It is recommended to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. It can be used to strengthen the body and eliminate evil at the same time. On the one hand, it can improve the body's immunity, and on the other hand, anti-cancer Chinese medicine directly attacks and cooperates with cancer cells. It has small toxic side effects and can be treated according to syndrome differentiation. Oral Chinese medicine decoctions, Chinese patent medicines, intravenous injections of Chinese medicine injections, external application of plasters, etc., whole body, holistic treatment, has a good effect. The principle of treatment is to try to operate as much as possible. If the cancer is still small and there is no sign of metastasis, it may be enough to cut off the lobe where the cancer is located, otherwise one side of the lung needs to be cut off. For cancers that are too large and have metastasized, doctors usually do not consider surgery. Auxiliary therapies that cannot be treated surgically include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, mixed therapy, radiotherapy, etc., but their treatment effects are far less than those of surgery.

Can small cell lung cancer be completely cured? It depends on several factors:

1. Early lung cancer. The treatment of early lung cancer mainly relies on comprehensive treatment methods such as surgery, which can achieve clinical cure and save these lung cancer patients from death. What is the chance of lung cancer being cured? Through surgery, the five-year survival rate of patients can reach 80 to 90 percent. For early primary lung cancer, radical surgery is the preferred treatment for early lung cancer. However, surgical treatment of early lung cancer is often accompanied by varying degrees of complications, and it is easy to relapse after surgery. For this reason, the use of tumor biological immunotherapy after surgery can effectively prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis.

2. For mid-stage lung cancer, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other means can be used to prolong the patient's life, and the patient will not be one step away from death.

3. Lung cancer is in the advanced stage, and all symptoms will be manifested and very serious, as is the case with lung cancer. At this time, we can also use various treatment methods to alleviate the pain of lung cancer patients and improve their living standards.
