A member asked:
How long can a person live with extensive small cell carcinoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extensive: Is defined as cancer outside the chest, or in the fluid on the same side, or nodes on the opposite side too big to be included in XRT ports. Survival: about 50% make it a year, but more than 90% are dead at 2 years with very few cured or alive at 5 years. Limited disease is cured in about a quarter of cases.
