Abstract

Small cell carcinoma is an extremely malignant neoplasm which commonly arises within pulmonary parenchyma although sites such as cervix, prostate and gastrointestinal tract can be incriminated. Small cell carcinoma exhibits a reduced cancer doubling time, enhanced growth fraction and rapid tumour dissemination with occurrence of metastases along with a dramatic response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy [1,2].
