Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy representing 15% of lung cancers. Approximately 2/3 of patients are diagnosed with extensive stage (ES) disease. Initial treatment involves platinum-based chemotherapy, with recent evidence supporting the addition of immunotherapy, followed in some cases by thoracic radiotherapy and/or prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Despite high response rates to initial therapy, relapses are common and overall survival is poor. There is limited prospective evidence to guide 2nd line systemic therapy and beyond.
