Keratinized type of squamous lung cancer has a higher degree of differentiation and is not very serious in the early stage compared with other types, but it is still serious if it is not actively treated and progresses to the middle or late stage.
Keratinized type of squamous lung cancer is one of the pathological types of invasive squamous lung cancer. Usually, under the microscope, one can find that there are keratinized beads in the tissues of the lesion site, and the degree of cell differentiation is relatively high, and the degree of malignancy is relatively low, so the overall prognosis is more ideal.
In addition, the severity of keratinized lung squamous carcinoma needs to be judged in combination with the stage of the tumor. If in the early stage, the tumor is small and has no proliferation and metastasis, most of the patients can be clinically cured with active treatment. However, if the tumor is in the middle or late stage, the infiltration range of the tumor is large, or lymph nodes and distant metastases have already appeared, then the treatment will be more difficult, and it may be difficult to be cured completely.
At present, surgical resection is the main treatment for keratinized squamous lung cancer, and after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy are adopted according to the situation, and it is also necessary to do a good job in the later stage of the treatment, and closely follow up the diagnosis in order to find out the recurrence phenomenon in time.
