Abstract
Because small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is very responsive to chemotherapy, an attempt at treatment is warranted even in poor-prognosis patients with limited-stage disease. Concurrent thoracic radiotherapy and prophylactic cranial irradiation should be considered in such cases. A case report of an elderly, debilitated patient with limited-stage SCLC is presented, and his management is discussed.
