Recent advances of molecular genetic characteristics of small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with fairly poor prognosis. Innovative treatment based on improved understanding of the genetic alterations of SCLC is awaited. Recently
a number of potential targets or important oncogenic pathways have been identified by the next generation sequencing or other systematic genomic analysis in SCLC. In this review
we summarised the new findings of genetic characteristics in SCLC.
