The treatment options for small cell lung cancer include radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy, surgery and so on. 1. Radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy: Radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy can kill cancer cells, thus controlling the progression of disease and prolonging the survival time. Commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs in clinic are etoposide, cisplatin, etc. Common adverse effects of chemotherapy include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, etc. Meanwhile, small cell lung cancer is more susceptible to radiotherapy and surgery. Meanwhile, small cell lung cancer is more sensitive to radiotherapy, but it is easy to cause adverse reactions such as radiation pneumonia. 2. Surgery: Usually, the effect of surgery on small cell lung cancer patients is poor, but for early stage small cell lung cancer patients with lesions confined to the lung parenchyma, surgical resection of the lesions should be considered. In addition to the above treatment measures, targeted therapy is currently used as a new type of drug therapy. It is recommended that small cell lung cancer patients actively cooperate with doctors in treatment, and also regularly consult doctors for review in order to monitor the changes of their conditions.
