Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from malignant tumors, with non-small cell cancer being the most common. This is
characterized by a tendency to metatize important organs such as the central nervous system, for which an average survival
of three to six months is estimated after being treated with radiation. We present the case of a 55-year-old patient, non-smoker, who was studied in the Oncology service, where studies were carried out, observing a nodular image in the lower lobe of the right lung; sample was taken that she reported squamous cell carcinoma, stage T2aN0M0 Stage Ib. Several treatment schemes
were implemented, including surgical intervention. In November 2018 she passes away. She is a patient with a diagnosis of
squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with brain and bone metastases who achieved an overall survival of six years, exceeding the average established to date.
