Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a recalcitrant cancer with an urgent need for novel therapeutics, preclinical models, and elucidation of the molecular pathways responsible for its rapid resistance. Recently, there have been many significant advancements in our knowledge of SCLC that led to the development of novel treatments. This review will go over the recent attempts to provide new molecular subcategorization of SCLC, recent breakthroughs in various systemic treatments including immunotherapy, targeted therapy, cellular therapy, as well as advancements in radiation therapy.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Cancer Biology (YSCBI) is a specialized review journal that focuses on the field of molecular oncology. Its primary objective is to keep scientists up-to-date with the latest developments in this field.
The journal adopts a thematic approach, dedicating each issue to an important topic of interest to cancer biologists. These topics cover a range of research areas, including the underlying genetic and molecular causes of cellular transformation and cancer, as well as the molecular basis of potential therapies.
To ensure the highest quality and expertise, every issue is supervised by a guest editor or editors who are internationally recognized experts in the respective field. Each issue features approximately eight to twelve authoritative invited reviews that cover various aspects of the chosen subject area.
The ultimate goal of each issue of YSCBI is to offer a cohesive, easily comprehensible, and engaging overview of the selected topic. The journal strives to provide scientists with a coordinated and lively examination of the latest developments in the field of molecular oncology.
