Combined small cell lung cancer (C-SCLC) is defined as small cell lung cancer (SCLC) combined with any of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) histological types, such as large cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma. Since C-SCLC is an increasingly recognized subtype of small cell carcinoma, we conducted a retrospective study in our institution to explore the value of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with C-SCLC treated by surgery.
