Currently, the standard treatment for SCLC is still chemoradiotherapy, and although SCLC is sensitive to chemotherapy in the early stage, recurrence and metastasis often occur due to drug resis-tance. In recent years, immunotherapy has made some progress in the study of SCLC. The immunodetection point programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) inhibitors, such as nivolumab, atezolizumab and pabolizumab, have shown good antitumor activity in clinical studies of SCLC, and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy have shown better efficacy, providing a new strategy for the treatment of SCLC.
