As 2024 comes to a close, we would like to celebrate the advancements made in small cell lung cancer (#SCLC) that provide hope. This tremendous progress by clinical trials reflects the innumerable sacrifices made by such dedicated patients & their wonderful families. Thank you!

What is the biology of small cell lung cancer? What are the neuroendocrine subtypes? Can we use therapies to target the NE subtypes? @lungevity #SCLC #meded #lcsm @SclcSMASHERS @SCLCYIForum @SWOG @Annechiangmd

No real progress was made in small cell lung cancer for almost four decades. Recent studies with new agents brought hope. Deciding what therapy for which patients still remains a challenge. Treatment options for #SCLC after progression are limited. In @TheShieldsLab at

Thank you @ConquerCancerFd for highlighting how important it is to change the stigma, nihilism, and culture surrounding a diagnosis of lung cancer. Anyone with lungs 🫁 can be diagnosed with lung cancer, and no one deserves lung cancer. Patients with #SCLC deserve MORE

@drshieldsmd reminds us of the stigma still present for people with small cell lung cancer and that it's time to change that. Her Conquer Cancer-funded research focuses on helping those with lung cancer by getting the right treatment to the right patient. #LungCancerAwareness

Unfortunately, while DLL3 is widely expressed (93%+) in tumors post-SCLC transformation ( https://t.co/ySAC2zeX7g), it is not clearly an actionable or biologically relevant target for transformed SCLC. This is similar to EGFR alterations and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies, despite high

Disappointing early look at tarlatamab in #EGFR NSCLC after #SCLC transformation @JCOPO_ASCO from @alissajcooper et al. Small numbers but out of 14, only 1 response (7%). May reflect heavy pretreatment and PS but optimism somewhat tempered here. https://t.co/7GKaaXgHp2

A true giant in the field of small cell lung cancer! An absolute honor to have Dr. Anish Thomas (@NIH) as a visiting professor at @IUCancerCenter, presenting his groundbreaking research with a “reverse translational” approach (patient bedside to the bench, and back!) on #SCLC.

Tarlatamab incorporated upfront with chemo-immunotherapy breaks all the known stats in first-line SCLC. No new data safety concerns. Awaiting data from randomized ph3 trial, but likely to be the next SoC. #ESMO25 #SCLC @SclcSMASHERS
