What are the drugs for treating small cell lung cancer

Small cell lung cancer is a type of bronchial lung cancer. Its symptoms are similar to those of common cancers, but the treatment methods and drugs are different. So what are the drugs for treating small cell lung cancer? Let us take a look at the drugs for treating small cell lung cancer.

1. Western medicine chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer: Tarceva, Iressa, Endostar, Ifosfamide, etc. Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride tablets) has a good effect in the targeted treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. In the anti-cancer process, it can specifically act on tumor cells, inhibit the activity of enzymes on epidermal growth factor in human cells, inhibit tumor cell formation and growth, or promote tumor cell apoptosis. It is currently the only national-level latest anti-cancer product that has been proven to have reliable efficacy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Iressa (gefitinib) blocks conduction by inhibiting EGFR autophosphorylation, inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells and achieving targeted therapy. It is mainly used clinically to treat non-small cell lung cancer, especially lung adenocarcinoma, but has poor efficacy on squamous cell carcinoma and alveolar carcinoma.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine with good efficacy in treating non-small cell lung cancer: Shenlian Capsules, Yifei Qinghua Granules, Qingfei Sanjie Pills, etc.

Shenlian Capsules have a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Shenlian Capsules can effectively inhibit the metastasis of lung cancer cells to other parts, block the proliferation of cancer cells, and prevent tumor development. Shenlian Capsules can not only kill cancer cells and inhibit tumors in the treatment of advanced lung cancer, but also increase the chances of advanced lung cancer patients receiving treatment. Shenlian Capsules can improve symptoms such as facial and neck edema, hoarseness, shortness of breath, chest pain, hemoptysis, cough, etc. in patients with advanced lung cancer, relieve patients' pain, and improve their quality of life.

Yifei Qinghua Granules can be used to treat middle and late stage lung cancer. They are made of top-grade Chinese medicinal materials and refined using modern advanced technology. They are pure Chinese medicine preparations. Yifei Qinghua Granules have a significant inhibitory effect on lung cancer tumors and can significantly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, with an inhibition rate of 40.4%. They have a certain inhibitory effect on lung cancer tumors of all stages and are suitable for the entire treatment process of lung cancer. They have a good effect, with an inhibition rate of 43.5%.

The results of clinical observations on the treatment of lung cancer with Qingfei Sanjie Pills showed that the total effective rate of Qingfei Sanjie Pills in treating lung cancer was 77.3% for adenocarcinoma, 76.3% for squamous cell carcinoma, and 73.8% for small cell carcinoma. Qingfei Sanjie Pills can effectively protect the patient's hematopoietic system and immune system, and reduce the damage to the hematopoietic system caused by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and cancer cell toxins. In addition, Qingfei Sanjie Pills can also protect the functions of the heart, liver, and kidneys to a certain extent.
