Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by rapid growth and early metastasis. Despite its sensitivity to cytotoxic treatment, until now treatments have failed to control or cure this disease in most patients. Here, we describe a patient with SCLC in which symptoms caused by iris metastasis were the only sign of relapse after multimodality treatment.
小细胞肺癌(SCLC)的特点是生长迅速且早期转移。尽管它对细胞毒性治疗敏感,但迄今为止,大多数患者的治疗仍未能控制或治愈这种疾病。在此,我们描述了一名小细胞肺癌患者,其虹膜转移引起的症状是多模式治疗后复发的唯一迹象。
