Small cell lung cancer is a pathological type of lung cancer, which belongs to low differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. Common causes of small cell lung cancer include smoking, heredity, etc. It is characterized by rapid proliferation and early extensive metastasis.
When metastasis occurs in small cell lung cancer, surgery is generally not recommended, and chemotherapy is mainly recommended, and common chemotherapeutic drugs include etoposide, irinotecan combined with cisplatin, and so on. If accompanied by neurological symptoms, whole brain radiotherapy is also needed, and if chemotherapy is ineffective, interventional therapy can be considered.
