A Non smoker presenting as small cell carcinoma:A Rare case report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Once regarded as a smoker’s disease, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been occasionally detected in non-smokers as smoking rates decrease worldwide. We investigated the clinical and genetic characteristics of SCLC in non- smokers. Non-smokers with SCLC are increasingly prevalent and have a better prognosis than smokers with SCLC. We intend to publish this case due to rarity of the case presentation High index of suspicion should be kept for the possibility of diagnosing SCLC in non smokers so that these cases might not be misdiagnosed .
