PY - 2023 T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - Patients who present with suspected lung cancer require a detailed clinical evaluation followed by noninvasive testing and invasive procedures to establish both the histopathologic diagnosis as well as disease stage. Historically, great emphasis has been placed upon the differentiation of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) from non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SCLC, which accounts for 13% of bronchogenic carcinomas, is histologically and clinically distinct from NSCLC.1 NSCLCs comprise clinically, pathologically, and molecularly diverse tumors that respond to different therapeutic agents based on specific histologic phenotypes and molecular characteristics.
