What is the Prognosis for Patients with Lung NETs?
The prognosis for lung NETs varies widely based on the type of tumor and its stage at diagnosis. Typical carcinoids generally have an excellent prognosis with a high five-year survival rate, often exceeding 85%. Atypical carcinoids and large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas have a less favorable prognosis, while small cell lung cancer is known for its aggressive nature and poor survival rates.
