Abstract

Targeted agents for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) include inhibitors of angiogenesis, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and signal transduction pathway inhibitors. Bevacizumab, a class of antiangiogenic agent, tends to have no effects on patients. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for example sunitinib, may be used as a monotherapy. Signaling inhibitors including Amuvatinib and LDE225 are undergoing phaseⅠand Ⅱ trials. Primary data show that SCLC is not sensitive to targeted therapy, needing more selection, so further studies are requested. Key words: Lung neoplasms; Carcinoma, small cell; Targeted therapy
