Abstract
In this series of published cases, the transformation to a SCLC phenotype after an initial diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma following TKI therapy appeared to be a late phenomenon. The prognosis after SCLC diagnosis is poor and current treatment strategies derived from primary SCLC seem to be largely inefficacious. New therapies are needed in the management of transformed SCLC.
