Abstract
The crude incidence of lung cancer in the European Union in 2002 was 55.5/100 000/year, mortality rate being 50.6/100 000/ year. Rates among men were 87.7 and 80.1/100 000/year, and among women 24.8 and 22.4/100 000/year, respectively (GLOBOCAN 2002, http://www-dep.iarc.fr). Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15–18% of all cases. In recent years the incidence of SCLC has decreased. SCLC is strongly associated with tobacco smoking.
