A long-term survivor with pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.

摘要

Pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) has been characterized by highly aggressive behavior, with early spread to both regional lymph nodes and distant sites and a rapidly fatal course. In fact, no reports have described an advanced pulmonary LCNEC patient who has had long-term survival. A patient with large-sized pulmonary LCNEC, who is free of disease 11 years after surgery and postoperative chemotherapy, was reported.
