Abstract excerpt
Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is classically defined by biallelic inactivation of RB1 and TP53. However, a small subset of tumors retains Rb expression and exhibits distinct molecular features. Here, we report two Rb-retained SCLC cases that expand the biological and therapeutic spectrum of this subgroup. Both tumors occurred in middle-aged women, showed small cell morphology with some variant features, and...
