Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is a highly malignant cancer of the lung.
Genes altered in small cell lung carcinoma:
* TP53 is mutated in 70-90% of SCLCs.
* RB1 is inactivated in most SCLCs.
* PTEN is mutated in 2-10% of SCLCs.
* MYC amplifications and amplification of MYC family members is found in 30% of SCLCs.
* FHIT protein expression is lost due to Loss of heterozygocity (LOH) on chromosome arm 3p found in more than 80% of SCLCs.
