Is chemotherapy sensitive for squamous lung cancer

The sensitivity of squamous lung cancer to chemotherapy is on the low side, and the effective rate of first-line chemotherapy is about 30-40%. The sensitivity of chemotherapy is related to individual’s physical condition, and the treatment of squamous lung cancer can adopt the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. People with advanced squamous lung cancer or patients with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma need adjuvant chemotherapy. The treatment of squamous lung cancer is mainly surgical treatment, and the prognosis is good after complete resection. However, if metastasis occurs or cannot be widely resected, radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can be chosen, and immunotherapy can also be considered, which can have a better control effect. Patients with squamous lung cancer are recommended to consult doctor in time and choose appropriate treatment plan under doctor’s guidance to prolong survival.
