Sažetak
Rak pluća najučestalija je zloćudna bolest u muškaraca, a pri vrhu je učestalosti i u žena. Među oboljelima 15% čine bolesnici s rakom pluća malih stanica. S obzirom na agresivnu prirodu ove bolesti i lošu prognozu, vrlo je važno definirati i implementirati standardizirani pristup dijagnostičkoj obradi, liječenju, kao i praćenju ovih bolesnika. Metode liječenja uključuju kemoterapiju, radioterapiju i, rijetko, kirurgiju ovisno o stadiju bolesti i općem stanju bolesnika.
