Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing and aggressive subtype of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 10-15% of all lung cancer cases globally. Small cell lung cancer is divided into limited-stage and extensive-stage based on disease spread. Its aggressive nature causes early metastasis to organs like the liver, bones, brain, and adrenal glands, leading to poor prognosis.
The five-year survival rate is less than 5% for extensive-stage and 15-25% for limited-stage. Small cell lung cancer is primarily caused by long-term tobacco exposure, leading to mutations...
