Redefining SCLC: Molecular Subtypes and Blood Biomarkers Guide Therapy
Key opinion leaders investigate the potential impact of redefining small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as a molecularly heterogeneous malignancy on personalized treatment strategies for SCLC subtypes with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities, while exploring the emerging role of blood-based biomarkers in shaping the evolving treatment landscape for SCLC.
