Squamous lung cancer generally refers to squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, and the metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung to the pleura is usually at an advanced stage. Patients can follow medical advice to adopt chemotherapy and radiotherapy to prolong their life.
Metastasis to pleura or distant organs of squamous cell carcinoma of lung belongs to stage IV, and stage IV means advanced stage of the disease. Therefore, squamous cell carcinoma metastasized to the pleura is usually in advanced stage.
When squamous cell carcinoma is in advanced stage, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy can be used to eliminate the cancer cells in the body as prescribed by doctors. Although it is almost impossible to cure the disease in the advanced stage, the life expectancy of patients can be prolonged and the quality of life of patients can be improved through active treatment.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital as soon as possible after diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma for professional treatment according to doctor’s instructions, and do not delay the disease.
