Overview

The initial evaluation of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) confirmed by histopathological findings include a complete blood count with differential, electrolytes, liver function test, calcium level, LDH, BUN, and creatinine. These laboratory tests should also be performed to assess the response to the initial therapy.

Laboratory Findings

The following laboratory tests must be ordered in all patients with SCLC during the initial evaluation as well as during the assessment of response to treatment following the initial therapy:[1]
