Morphological Growth Characteristics and Hormone Secretion of Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung In Vitro

  • Conference paper
Peptide Hormones in Lung Cancer

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 99))

Abstract

Since 1974 a group at Dartmouth Medical School has been actively engaged in in vitro studies of small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL), utilizing tumors which have been obtained from patients with a known diagnosis of this disease. Continuous cell lines have been established from biopsy or autopsy specimens from patients with a known pathologic or cytologic diagnosis of SCCL.
