Abstract:
Lung cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in the world, the incidence of small cell lung cancer is about 15%among them. Small cell lung cancer is highly sensitive to ifrst-line chemotherapy, but most of the patients relapse atfer the ifrst-line therapy quickly. Despitemany clinical researchof chemotherapy, biological agents and molecular targeting agents since the 1980s, there still remains a substantial lack of consensus regarding the appropriate therapeutic management on maintenance therapy of small cell lung cancer. hTe review focuses on maintenance therapy of small cell lung cancer.
