2. Limited-stage small cell lung carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-stage_small_cell...

   Unlike extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, limited-stage small cell lung cancer is potentially curable. [4] In limited small cell lung cancer, the median overall survival time is approximately 12–16 months, with five year survival rate of approximately 26% and long-term survival rate of approximately 4–5%. [19]

3. Cancer survival rates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_survival_rates

   Small cell lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of 4% according to Cancer Centers of America's Website. [5] The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer.

4. Small-cell carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-cell_carcinoma

   Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) has long been divided into two clinicopathological stages, termed limited stage (LS) and extensive stage (ES). [8] The stage is generally determined by the presence or absence of metastases, whether or not the tumor appears limited to the thorax, and whether or not the entire tumor burden within the chest can feasibly be encompassed within a single radiotherapy ...

5. Lung cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer

   There are two main types of lung cancer, categorized by the size and appearance of the malignant cells seen by a histopathologist under a microscope: small cell lung cancer (SCLC; 15% of cases) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC; 85% of cases). [18] SCLC tumors are often found near the center of the lungs, in the major airways. [19]

6. Lung cancer staging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer_staging

   The initial evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer staging uses the TNM classification. This is based on the size of the primary tumor, lymph node involvement, and distant metastasis. After this, using the TNM descriptors, a group is assigned, ranging from occult cancer, through stage 0, IA (one-A), IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB to IV (four).

7. Five-year survival rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_survival_rate

   Five-year survival rates can be used to compare the effectiveness of treatments. Use of five-year survival statistics is more useful in aggressive diseases that have a shorter life expectancy following diagnosis, such as lung cancer, and less useful in cases with a long life expectancy, such as prostate cancer.
