Different Subtypes Defined in small cell lung cancer (SCLC): SCLC is a particularly aggressive cancer that typically occurs in smokers, exhibiting rapid growth and a high propensity for metastasis. Recent studies suggest that SCLC may be differentiated into specific molecular subtypes. However, due to the significant lack of tumour material and the problem of tumour heterogeneity, this information could not be effectively validated in a clinical setting. This new research project has now examined 386 Central European cases, one of the largest cohorts of surgically treated patients to date. The results confirmed that differential expression of ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3
