Background:
- Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor with historically limited treatment progress.
- Despite decades of research, systemic therapy for SCLC has seen minimal advancement until recently.
- High relapse rates and significant mortality underscore the need for improved SCLC management strategies.
Conclusions:
- Consensus recommendations for ES-SCLC management have been established.
- These recommendations aim to clarify evidence-based practice.
- The goal is to facilitate optimal patient outcomes in routine care.
