Abstract:
Despite radiographic complete remission after standard induction therapy, 75% of SCLC patients will have tumor in the resected specimen. This and the high rate of local recurrence indicates that surgery may assume a greater role in the future if better control can be obtained for distant disease and local relapse thus becomes the mode of death.
