SCLC

Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing type of lung cancer that usually starts in the small cells in the lungs’ airways. It tends to spread quickly to other parts of the body, making it more aggressive than other lung cancers. Often linked to smoking, SCLC requires prompt and intensive treatment, typically involving chemotherapy and radiation. Because of its rapid growth, early detection is challenging, and prognosis can be serious. However, advancements in treatment are improving outcomes for some patients, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and personalized care.
