Overview

NCI Definition: A morphologic variant of small cell lung carcinoma in combination with a non-small cell carcinoma. [1]

Combined small cell lung carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, RB1, PTEN, EGFR, and TERT [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Combined Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, TP53 Exon 5 Mutation, and RB1 Mutation are the most common alterations in combined small cell lung carcinoma [2].
