Abstract:
Combined small cell lung cancer (CSCLC) is a cancer that mixes small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) components according to the World Health Organization's 2015 New Pathologic Classification of Lung Cancer. Composed of a mixture of SCLC and NSCLC components, CSCLC is classified as a subtype of SCLC in neuroendocrine tumors. Currently, research on SCLC mainly focuses on single-component pure SCLC, with relatively few studies on CSCLC, which is clinically rare and has no standardized treatment protocols and lacks a unified perception of the clinicopathological features and prognostic predictive indexes of CSCLC. Further observation of efficacy and prognosis is needed. We report the treatment course of a case of CSCLC and provide a literature review of the current status of research on CSCLC.
