小细胞肺癌(SCLC)是Burkitt淋巴瘤和睾丸生殖细胞癌等多种快速增长的恶性疾病之一。目前，还没有可靠的方法来筛查小细胞肺癌，而且成像手段在检测这种类型的癌症时往往会延迟。急性和快速生长的小细胞肺癌的临床表现类似于肺部炎症或感染性疾病，在某些情况下，这会延误适当的治疗，并对患者预后产生负面影响。
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of many types rapidly growing malignant diseases, such as Burkitt’s lymphoma and testicular germ cell cancers. At present, there is no reliable way to screen for SCLC, and imaging modalities tend to be delayed in detecting this type of cancer. The clinical presentation of acutely and rapidly growing SCLC can mimic those of pulmonary inflammatory or infectious disorders, and in some instances, this delays appropriate management and negatively affects patient outcome.
