If small cell lung cancer 8mm is in limited stage and the treatment is timely, brain metastasis usually will not occur.
Determining whether small cell lung cancer 8mm will develop brain metastasis needs to depend on the actual situation, which is mainly related to the treatment and clinical staging, and cannot be generalized. Clinically, small cell lung cancer is divided into two stages, i.e. limited stage and extensive stage. If small cell lung cancer 8mm is in the limited stage and undergoes standardized treatment in time, brain metastasis will not occur for the time being.
If small cell lung cancer in limited stage is not treated timely, brain metastasis will occur easily. Besides, for patients with extensive stage of small cell lung cancer 8mm, because the tumor has already metastasized to other parts of the body other than lungs, such as liver, bone, etc., brain metastasis is prone to occur at this time.
All in all, patients with small cell lung cancer 8mm need to go to the hospital in time and cooperate with doctors for active treatment to control the development of the disease.
