Abstract
Scotland has one of the highest incidences of SCLC globally (cancerresearchuk.org). Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in the UK (cancerresearchuk.org), with SCLC having a worse prognosis than NSCLC and fewer treatment options. Initially, SCLC has a high response rate to first line chemotherapy but rapidly becomes resistant to chemotherapy. There is little evidence to support and guide third line chemotherapy regimens. A West of Scotland (WoS) retrospective database (2007 to 2013) has been developed to gain useful insights into this aggressive disease to improve patient outcomes.
