Can small cell lung cancer be cured

First of all, the incidence rate of small cell lung cancer is also great. We must insist that treatment will have effect. Small cell carcinoma accounts for about 20% of the incidence of lung cancer. The age of onset is lighter. Most of the men who have a history of smoking at age 40 or so are similar in size to small lymphocytes. There are neuroendocrine granules in the cells.

Secondly, according to the degree of differentiation, poorly differentiated lung cancer, especially small cell carcinoma, is particularly sensitive to chemotherapy, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Chemotherapy can be used alone in patients with advanced lung cancer to relieve symptoms. Or combined with surgery and radiotherapy to improve the cure rate of the disease.

Finally: the correct sequence of administration can increase the efficacy of drugs, otherwise it will aggravate the side effects! Paclitaxel + DDP, gemcitabine combined with DDP, gemcitabine before cisplatin, can enhance the curative effect. If paclitaxel is used after DDP, it can aggravate bone marrow suppression, paclitaxel + ADM (doxorubicin).
