Perspectives on Small Cell Lung Cancer: Insights from Diverse Studies brings together cutting-edge research in the field of oncology, focusing on the complexities and challenges of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This curated collection of scientific journal articles spans a variety of topics, from diagnostic methodologies to therapeutic interventions. The foreword by leading experts sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of recent advancements aimed at improving patient outcomes. Key studies include the innovative use of computed tomography for accurate tumor differentiation, the role of EZH2 in tumor progression, and the efficacy of systemic chemotherapy for brain metastases. Additionally, the book covers the significance of molecular determinants like DLL1 in drug resistance, the prognostic value of premorbid BMI, and the potential of cancer/testis antigens in SCLC diagnosis and immunotherapy. Each article offers valuable insights into the relentless pursuit of knowledge to combat this aggressive form of cancer. Ideal for researchers, clinicians, and students, this collection serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding and advancing SCLC treatment strategies.

Under the auspices of the 12th International Symposium on Special Aspects in Radiotherapy 2008 in Berlin, acknowledged experts presented their perspectives on small and non-small cell lung cancer, reflecting the latest standards and engaging in controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.In the first part of this volume, aspects of the diagnostic workup are highlighted from the histopathologist's point of view, followed by presentations concerning the value of PET-CT and whole-body MRI in the staging of lung cancer. The use and current methods in bronchoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, video-endoscopy and mediastinoscopy are discussed in detail. The second section presents surgical and radio-oncological treatment concepts for stage I/II non-small cell lung cancer including stereotactic radiotherapy. The third section outlines the curative options for stage III NSCLC: extended surgical approaches , definitive radiochemotherapy and current concepts in adjuvant therapies. Emphasis is also placed on altered fractionation schemes in radiotherapy. Section 4 is dedicated to palliative procedures and the last section gives an in-depth presentation of small cell lung cancer.This book provides an excellent overview of up-to-date standards and future strategies in lung cancer treatment. It will be of great value to surgeons, radiation oncologists, pulmonary specialists and other clinicians interested in this disease.
