    • Disease Progression and Acquired Resistance
      • Study of molecular + clinical characteristics of rapid progressors vs. long-term responders in SCLC to tailor personalized treatment approaches

            • Longitudinal studies of SCLC progression from limited-stage to extensive-stage disease
