Bronchoscopic Intratumoral Chemotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Summary

This project proposes to use bronchoscopic intratumoral chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer in two fashions: 1. to implement a prospective clinical trial to test the feasibility and efficacy of intralesional chemotherapy as consolidative therapy immediately following standard systemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy for patients with limited stage SCLC by comparing tumor growth and survival rates of the treatment group and compare the outcomes to historical controls 2. to implement a prospective clinical trial to test the feasibility and efficacy as measured by tumor growth and survival rates of intralesional chemotherapy for patients with recurrent SCLC after standard treatment.
