Over the past 40 years, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been a clinical "hard nut to crack", with almost no options left after chemotherapy resistance.
Now, a major review in Nature Cancer brings six breakthrough directions, offering the first glimpse of the possibility of being besieged by "curative-level" therapies for this "incurable disease". SCLC has finally entered the "treatment explosion" era!
The treatment of SCLC is shifting from "laboratory to clinical" to "bedside back to laboratory" reverse translation: circulating clinical observations, deep omics, tissue banks and rapid autopsy results back to the laboratory to drive hypothesis validation and target discovery; while using surface omics, ADC/TCE new drugs, rational combination regimens, limiting phenotypic plasticity and epigenetic intervention to counter heterogeneity and resistance; moving the battle line forward through smoking cessation, early screening and circulating biomarkers; and solving the obstacles of age, comorbidities and economic accessibility in the real world to truly implement innovative therapies.
