Abstract excerpt
Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is a highly metastatic disease with a poor prognosis due to its resistance to current modes of therapy. SCLC cells appear to arise by oncogenic transformation of self-renewing pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, which have the potential to differentiate into a variety of lung epithelial cell lineages. Epithelial-mesenchymal conversion involved in such cell type transitions leads to...
