How long does it take to cure small cell lung cancer

How long does it take to cure small cell lung cancer? In the early stages of small cell lung cancer, there is no discomfort and the symptoms are particularly subtle, so it is often missed. When symptoms are found, it is already in the late stage. Today, let's take a look at how long it takes to cure small cell lung cancer:

Fighting cancer is a long-term project and cannot be achieved overnight. The goal of treatment can be achieved by preventing the growth of cancer cells, and the patient's body must be able to support the treatment.

Targeted therapy is mainly determined based on genetic results. The effectiveness is higher when the gene is mutated, and lower when the gene is not mutated. However, it may be effective regardless of whether the gene is mutated or not. Therefore, when a patient is diagnosed with lung cancer, the first treatment option should be the targeted drugs Iressa and Tarceva. Chemotherapy can be considered when targeted drugs are ineffective.

You can drink some grapefruit juice every day while taking targeted drugs (you can find grapefruit everywhere in the countryside). It is best to ask a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe some Chinese medicine for conditioning the body. If you use Iressa alone, you will develop resistance very quickly, but if you take Iressa with symptomatic Chinese medicine, resistance will develop more slowly. Clinically, there are almost no cases of cancer being cured by anti-cancer Chinese medicine. Cancer treatment relies on Western medicine. Warming Chinese medicine can be used to condition the body and enhance immunity.

Chemotherapy is the first choice after drug resistance, and the selection of chemotherapy drugs also starts with the one with the least side effects, and Alimta is the first choice. Alimta has minimal side effects. Although it is more effective than other chemotherapy drugs for small cell lung cancer, it is very expensive and there is no reimbursement. It is all self-paid. One course of treatment costs about more than 8,000 yuan. If it is combined with platinum drugs, the price will be even higher. After chemotherapy resistance, you can consider taking Iressa again.
