1. According to the biological characteristics, cancer cells are divided into small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For each kind of cancer cell, its treatment scheme is different. Because these cancer cells have different biological characteristics, their sensitivity to different chemotherapy drugs is also different.

2. Cancer has a very significant feature, that is, it is particularly easy to relapse and metastasize. When the cancer cells metastasize to the brain, it means that all previous efforts have been burned, and the disease has seriously deteriorated. In this case, there is no choice but to do it.
