Small cell lung cancer has the possibility to live 10 years. Small cell lung cancer is a special type of lung cancer, which belongs to neuroendocrine tumor and has the characteristic of extremely high malignancy, and the survival period is shorter compared with non-small cell lung cancer patients.The five-year survival rate of stage I small cell lung cancer patients is about 50%, stage II is about 25%, stage III is about 10%, while stage IV is less than 3%. Therefore, if patients with early stage small cell lung cancer are actively undergoing treatment, maintaining good living and dietary habits, and undergoing regular review, it is still possible for them to live for 10 years. Early standardized treatment of small cell lung cancer is an important means to improve the prognosis of the disease as well as the survival period of individuals. Therefore, it is recommended that high-risk groups should have regular medical checkups to detect the disease at an early stage and obtain a good prognosis.
