A member asked:
Can you tell me about the best small cell lung cancer treatment nowadays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Treatment of small cell lung cancer depends on the stage. If it is limited stage the treatments involve chemotherapy along with radiation and if it is extensive stage then chemotherapy is the main stay of treatment (though in some situations palliative radiation can be considered).
