Refractory small cell lung cancer with pancreatic metastasis: A case report
This case study highlights the challenges associated with treating rSCLC that has metastasized to the pancreas. Although targeted therapy for metastasis-induced pancreatitis and systemic chemotherapy can alleviate symptoms and enhance patients' quality of life, continuous monitoring and optimization of treatment plans are essential for managing this aggressive disease. The findings emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and treating such complex cases, underscoring the necessity for personalized treatment strategies to address both the primary cancer and its metastatic complications.
