Perspective of radiotherapy for ovarian metastasis from small cell lung cancer / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To evaluate the therapeutic value of radiotherapy for ovarian metastasis from small cell lung cancer. 【Methods】 Two patients with ovarian metastasis from small cell lung cancer were recruited, and the value of radiotherapy in the system treatment strategies was analyzed combined with literature reports. 【Results】 The two patients both benefited from local radiotherapy plus system treatment. One was still in complete remission, and compared to that reported in the literature, the local PFS improved to 21 months. 【Conclusion】 Although the prognosis of small cell lung cancer with ovarian metastasis is still poor, radiotherapy might be one of the systematic treatment strategies for improving the survival time of these patients.
