2. Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome_of_inappropriate...

   Causes of SIADH include conditions that dysregulate ADH secretion in the central nervous system, tumors that secrete ADH, drugs that increase ADH secretion, among other causes. Cancer accounts for an estimated 24% of cases of SIADH, with 25% of those causes due to small cell lung cancer. [2]

3. Limited-stage small cell lung carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-stage_small_cell...

   Small cell lung cancer is often treated as a systematic disease due to its tendency for early dissemination, [4] thus, instead of the traditional TNM staging system, the Veterans' Administration Lung Study Group (VALSG) introduced a simplified 2-stage system in the 1950s to divide small cell lung cancer into limited stage and extensive stage. [7]

4. Small-cell carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-cell_carcinoma

   Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) has long been divided into two clinicopathological stages, termed limited stage (LS) and extensive stage (ES). [8] The stage is generally determined by the presence or absence of metastases, whether or not the tumor appears limited to the thorax, and whether or not the entire tumor burden within the chest can feasibly be encompassed within a single radiotherapy ...

5. Targeted therapy of lung cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Targeted_therapy_of_lung_cancer

   Despite the large number of histological variants of lung carcinoma, oncologists have long tended to favor a dichotomous division into small cell and non-small cell forms, based on differences in clinical behavior and response to treatment. Most small cell lung carcinomas (SCLC's) metastasize to distant organs early on in their course ...

6. Combined small-cell lung carcinoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_small-cell_lung...

   Combined small cell lung carcinoma (or c-SCLC) is a form of multiphasic lung cancer that is diagnosed by a pathologist when a malignant tumor, arising from transformed cells originating in lung tissue, contains a component of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) mixed with one or more components of any histological variant of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in any relative proportion.

7. Vasopressin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin

   Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone secretion (SIADH) in turn can be caused by a number of problems. Some forms of cancer can cause SIADH, particularly small cell lung carcinoma but also a number of other tumors. A variety of diseases affecting the brain or the lung (infections, bleeding) can be the driver behind SIADH.

8. Treatment of lung cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_of_lung_cancer

   For clinical and treatment purposes, however, most oncologists tend to classify lung carcinomas into two major groups, namely small cell carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This is done because of differing responses to treatment—NSCLC is comparatively less sensitive to chemotherapy and/or radiation, so surgery is the ...

9. Cyclophosphamide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclophosphamide

   Cyclophosphamide (CP), also known as cytophosphane among other names, [3] is a medication used as chemotherapy and to suppress the immune system. [4] As chemotherapy it is used to treat lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, neuroblastoma, and sarcoma. [4]
