Current therapy for small cell lung cancer seems to have reached a plateau. To rise off this plateau it will be necessary to improve local control through radiation therapy, and control of distant metastases with new chemotherapy strategies. It will also be necessary to treat pharmacologic sanctuaries, reduce treatment-related toxicities, and prevent second malignancies.
