Abstract excerpt
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for ~15% of all lung cancer cases, and chemotherapy has dramatically improved the survival rate of SCLC patients. Yet, the long-term survival rate of this cancer has not improved since multi-drug resistance (MDR) may emerge after chemotherapy. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation-related biological processes, such as energy metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
