Published: January 2020

High-grade neuroendocrine lung carcinomas (LCNEC, SCLC) are recalcitrant cancers for which no optimal management has been achieved. We have recently described two models of LCNEC and SCLC developed upon inactivation of 4 tumor suppressors genes ( (RB transcriptional corepressor 1), (RB transcriptional corepressor like 1), (phosphatase and tensin homolog), (transformation-related protein 53), which provide a suitable frame for preclinical intervention. A defined model for LCNEC had not been previously reported.

Background: The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in early-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) remains unclear, particularly for small tumors. This study assesses the survival benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection with a novel focus on tumors less than 1 cm.

Materials And Methods: Data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) was extracted for patients with SCLC (n = 11,962) and LCNEC (n = 6821) who underwent surgical resection between 2004 and 2020.

A novel molecular classification for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been established utilizing the transcription factors achaete-scute homologue 1 (ASCL1), neurogenic differentiation factor 1 (NeuroD1), POU class 2 homeobox 3 (POU2F3), and yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). This classification was predicated on the transcription factors. Conversely, there is a paucity of information regarding the distribution of these markers in other subtypes of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (PNET).

Lung neuroendocrine neoplasms are a group of diverse, heterogeneous tumours that range from well-differentiated, low-grade neuroendocrine tumours-such as typical and atypical carcinoids-to high-grade, poorly differentiated aggressive malignancies, such as large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). While the incidence of SCLC has decreased, the worldwide incidence of other pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms has been increasing over the past decades. In addition to the standard histopathological classification of lung neuroendocrine neoplasms, the introduction of molecular and sequencing techniques has led to new advances in understanding the biology of these diseases and might influence future classifications and staging that can subsequently improve management guidelines in the adjuvant or metastatic settings.

Delta-like Ligand 3 (DLL3) targeting therapies are promising in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment. However, DLL3 expression in SCLC and other neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) is heterogeneous and not well characterized. We describe the landscape of DLL3 at the mRNA and protein levels across SCLC, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), and non-small cell lung cancer.

Histological transformation in lung adenocarcinoma: Insights of mechanisms and therapeutic windows.

J Transl Int Med

Office of Cancer Screening, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Histological transformation from lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) to small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) after targeted therapies is recognized as a mechanism of resistance in ADC treatments. Patients with transformed lung cancer typically experience a poor prognosis and short survival time. However, effective treatment options for these patients are currently lacking.
