    Hereditary Predisposition Plays a Larger Role in SCLC Development Than Previously Recognized and May Inform Personalized Treatment

    SCLC/NET

    Whole-exome sequencing reveals that almost half of all patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) have a deleterious germline mutation which may be associated with the development of their disease (Abstract OA11.05). Moreover, these mutations could lend themselves to targeted therapy and screening in about 10% of individuals—a treatment approach for SCLC that has remained…
