When small cell lung metastasis occurs, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy can be considered.
1. Radiation therapy: radiation is mainly utilized to achieve therapeutic purpose, in which the isotope of radiation will produce rays, and then the rays will enter into the human body, which can kill the cancer cells and successfully inhibit the spreading and metastasis of cancer cells. For cancer cells that have already metastasized, it can also play an inhibitory role, and the main purpose is to let the swelling gradually shrink.
2. Chemotherapy: It mainly utilizes chemical drugs to kill cancer cells and achieve the therapeutic purpose. Combined with radiotherapy, targeted therapy and other comprehensive treatments, it can effectively reduce the risk of metastasis and recurrence.
3. Immunotherapy: the mechanism of immunotherapy is mainly to release immunosuppression, mobilize the body’s own immune function to resist tumor cells, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting tumor growth and even making the tumor subside, such as pembrolizumab and so on.
Therefore, for patients with small cell lung metastasis, it is necessary to seek medical treatment as early as possible, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and adjust the mentality during the treatment, which is more conducive to the effect of disease treatment.
