  1. SCLC can grow and spread quickly. And according to statistics, the likelihood of living for five years after you've been diagnosed with SCLC is between 3% and 27%, depending on how advanced the cancer is when it's found.

    The American Cancer Society notes that the 5-year survival rate for SCLC detection in the early stage when the cancer is localized is 27%. If the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body before detection, that 5-year survival rate can drop to 3%. The overall 5-year survival rate for SCLC is 7%.

    The 5-year relative survival rate for people with SCLC in the United States is 8% for women and 6% for men. The survival rates for SCLC vary based on several factors. These include the stage of cancer, a person’s age and general health, and how well the treatment plan works.

    Limited stage small cell lung cancer has a median survival of 12 to 16 months, with treatment. Extensive stage small cell lung cancer has a median survival of 7 to 11 months, with treatment.

    Ten-year relative survival rate (combined limited and extensive SCLC) is 3.5% (4.3% for women, 2.8% for men). Survival can be higher or lower based on a combination of factors including stage, age, sex and race.

    The rate is 16 percent for regional cancer and 3 percent for cancer that has spread to a distant area. It’s important to know that five-year survival rates don’t account for new treatments that may become available. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form responsible for 10-15 % of cases.

    Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing type of lung cancer that can spread quickly to other parts of the body. The treatment and survival rate for SCLC depends on the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. For people with limited-stage SCLC, the five-year survival rate is about 30%. This means that about 30% of people with limited-stage SCLC will live for at least five years after diagnosis. For people with extensive-stage SCLC, the five-year survival rate is about 5%. This means that about 5% of people with extensive-stage SCLC will live for at least five years after diagnosis. The treatment for SCLC usually includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In some cases, surgery may also be an option.

    Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive disease with distinct pathological, clinical, and molecular characteristics from non–small-cell lung cancer. SCLC has high metastatic potential, resulting in a clinically poor prognosis. Early concurrent chemo-radiation is the standard of care for limited-stage SCLC (LS-SCLC).
    De Ruysscher D, Pijls-Johannesma M, Bentzen SM, et al. Time between the first day of chemotherapy and the last day of chest radiation is the most important predictor of survival in limited-disease small-cell lung cancer.
