A study of 149 light microscopic tissue slides from 147 patients with recorded initial
diagnoses of small cell lung cancer (SCLC)(114 cases) and undifferentiated carcinoma (35 …

BACKGROUND Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) has been divided into three subtypes:
pure SCLC, mixed small cell/large cell carcinoma (mixed SC/LC), and combined SCLC …

Histopathologic specimens from 249 patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were
reviewed and classified into oat cell‐type, pure intermediate cell‐type (excluding specimens …

Patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) were histologically subtyped
according to the Working Party for Therapy of Lung Cancer classification and were treated …

Considerable attention has been devoted to the diagnosis of small cell lung carcinoma
(SCLC) and its subtypes. In the literature contradictory opinions have been published …

Separation of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) from nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)
is a critical distinction to be made in the diagnosis of lung cancer. However, the diagnosis of …

The proportion of small cell-large cell or combined small-cell subtypes is very low, and the
clinical outcome in patients with these subtypes appears not to be significantly different from …

Background. In the classification recently proposed by the Pathology Committee of
International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) …

Past attempts to subclassify small-cell lung cancer (SCCL) histology (oat cell, fusiform,
polygonal, intermediate, etc) have not been useful because of interrater variability and a lack …

A consecutive series of 104 autopsies on patients treated in protocol for small cell carcinoma
of the lung (SCCL) was studied with respect to (1) metastatic pattern at autopsy in relation to …
