Summary
Small cell lung carcinoma (MONDO:0008433) is a cancer with 75 cohort genes (56 GWAS associations across 4 studies; 15 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers; 32 ClinVar predisposition records) and 762 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Endosomal/Vacuolar pathway (3 cohort genes). Molecularly, DLL3 Expression confers sensitivity to Rovalpituzumab Tesirine in Lung Small Cell Carcinoma (CIViC Level B); 9 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include cisplatin, topotecan, and irinotecan.
