Abstract

With continual advances in medicine, more studies on early diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation, and prognosis of lung cancer have emerged in recent years, particularly in regard to small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is a pathological type of lung cancer with the highest grade. In the era of medical treatment scarcity, early diagnosis of SCLC, evaluation of treatment effect, recurrence factors, and prognosis are important to treat patients with SCLC, prolong their survival, and improve their life quality. The research on the changes of serum tumor markers and biochemical indicators in the early diagnosis and treatment of SCLC has gradually become a hot topic. Therefore, this article reviews the research progress of serum tumor markers and biochemical indicators of SCLC.
