Limited stage small cell carcinoma lungs
Why it is written in Google that treatment for limited early stage small cell carcinoma treatment is cure which is achieved in 20 to 25 percent of people?
Can some people be cured of this if treatment starts in limited stage?
Will it reoccur in 100 out of 100 cases?

Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Dear doctors I'm begging you for a reply.. My mother has limited stage small cell lung carcinoma and I thought it was curable but I consulted 2 doctors and they are saying no cure even in limited stage just survival max 2 yrs that too with treatment..
Is it true? I'm so worried?
Can't it be cured in some people?
Does it always come back? Always?
My mother is 67 and wants to live..
Please reply 🙏
