Peripheral-type small cell lung cancer is associated with better survival and higher frequency of interstitial lung disease

Highlights • Peripheral-type is more common than central-type in small cell lung cancer. • Peripheral-type is an independent better prognostic factor for overall survival. • Peripheral-type is associated with higher frequency of interstitial lung disease. • Interstitial lung disease is associated wi...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Peripheral-type is more common than central-type in small cell lung cancer. • Peripheral-type is an independent better prognostic factor for overall survival. • Peripheral-type is associated with higher frequency of interstitial lung disease. • Interstitial lung disease is associated with shorter survival. • Survival in peripheral-type without interstitial lung disease is much longer.
