Inclusion criteria

Cohort 1 and 2:

  • Patients 18 years of age or older at SCLC diagnosis
  • Confirmed diagnosis of SCLC within the patient identification period (between October 2013 and October 2015)
  • Initiated on first-line treatment (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) for their SCLC
  • Full oncology medical history for the mandatory variables of the study available in the participating center from day of diagnosis until the end of follow-up or death (whichever occurs first)
  • Signed informed consent (where required as per local requirements)

Cohort 3:

  • Patients 18 years of age or older at SCLC diagnosis
  • Confirmed diagnosis of SCLC not earlier than October 2013
  • Initiated on second-line treatment due to relapse after first-line therapy not later than August 2016
  • Full oncology medical history for the mandatory variables of the study available in the participating center from day of diagnosis until the end of follow-up or death (whichever occurs first)
  • Signed informed consent (where required as per local requirements)

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants with previous malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and in situ cancers such as the following: bladder, gastric, colon, cervical/dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to first treatment and no additional therapy is required or anticipated to be required during the study period.

    Time frame: Approximately 44 months

  7. Incidence of surgery as cancer-directed therapy

    Time frame: Approximately 44 months

    To describe the use of surgery in the management of LD-SCLC and ED-SCLC patients having relapsed

  8. Incidence of radiation therapy as cancer-directed therapy

    Time frame: Approximately 44 months

    To describe the use of radiation therapy in the management of LD-SCLC and ED-SCLC patients having relapsed

  9. Incidence of best supportive care (BSC)

    Time frame: Approximately 44 months

    To describe the use of best supportive care (BSC) in the management of LD-SCLC and ED-SCLC patients having relapsed

  10. Incidence of palliative care

    Time frame: Approximately 44 months
