Abstract

Small-cell lung cancer is characterized by an aggressive clinical course with high tendency for early dissemination. At presentation, patients are usually symptomatic and with hilar or mediastinal mass at radiography. Staging should be focused on identifying any evidence of distant spread. Chemotherapy including cisplatin and etoposide is a cornerstone of treatment for all patients. Limited-stage disease should be managed by chemotherapy combined with concurrent chest irradiation. All patients who achieve complete response should be considered for elective cranial irradiation. Surgical treatment may be used in highly selected patients with TNM stage I disease, and surgery should always be combined with chemotherapy. Extensive-stage disease should be managed by multi-agent chemotherapy alone. Long-term survivorus should undergo careful monitoring for development of a second primary tumour.
