Treatment of small cell lung cancer enters a period of accelerated breakthroughs

In the field of tumors, any breakthrough is not easy. Although humans have discovered cancer for a long time, chemotherapy has long been the core treatment method. Of course, after countless failures and dashed hopes, once there is a breakthrough, the progress is often unexpected. For example, after decades of silence, the treatment of small cell carcinoma seems to have ushered in a period of accelerated breakthroughs. On August 15, AstraZeneca announced that its drug durvalumab has been accepted by the FDA for the indication of limited small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). If approved for marketing, this will be the first immunotherapy in 40 years to show survival benefits in this field, representing an important breakthrough.
