This state-of-the-art review consolidates the practice-shifting data on immunotherapy consolidation, maintenance intensification, and DLL3-directed bispecific therapy that oncology pharmacists must now operationalize across small cell lung cancer (SCLC) stages.
New therapeutic advances redefine small cell lung cancer management.
Recent advances in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatments are reshaping management strategies, improving patient outcomes. Consolidation durvalumab is a new standard post-chemoradiotherapy for limited-stage SCLC; platinum-etoposide with a PD-L1 inhibitor is preferred for extensive-stage SCLC. This review highlights the evolving therapeutic landscape for SCLC, detailing current standards, emerging treatments, and future directions based on biologic subtypes. Evolving SCLC treatments focus on integrating newer drugs and biologic insights to improve outcomes.
