Abstract

Spontaneous regression of cancers is extremely rare and is associated with specific malignancies. Spontaneous regression of bronchogenic lung cancer has rarely been reported, and regression of small cell lung cancer is even less common. Such regression is generally ascribed to immunological factors but is not well understood. This case report describes a patient with spontaneous regression of small cell lung cancer that has persisted for 11 years and considers possible mechanisms.

摘要

癌症的自发消退极为罕见，且与特定的恶性肿瘤相关。支气管源性肺癌的自发消退鲜有报道，小细胞肺癌的消退则更为罕见。这种消退通常归因于免疫因素，但目前尚不清楚。本病例报告描述了一名小细胞肺癌自发消退且持续了11年的患者，并探讨了可能的机制。
