ABSTRACT

Small cell lung cancer carries the worst prognosis among lung cancer. The current guidelines only recommend surgical treatment for patients in the Ⅰ-ⅡA stage, but surgical treatment is often in a neglected position in clinical practice. More and more recent studies have focused on this aspect. This article reviews the recent research literatures and reviews the progress of surgery in the multidisciplinary treatment of small cell lung cancer.
