Abstract Background With a series of clinical trials confirming the sensitivity of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) to immunotherapy, research on personalized treatment for SCLC has gained increasing attention. Currently, the most widely accepted subtype of SCLC is based on the expression levels of Achaete-Scute Family BHLH Transcription Factor 1 (ASCL1), neurogenic differentiation factor 1 (NEUROD1), and POU class 2 homeobox 3 (POU2F3). However, real-world studies on this classification remain limited. Methods We retrospectively collected biopsy specimens from patients who received immunotherapy at Shandong Provincial Hospital between January 2019 and July 2021. After determining the patient subtypes using immunohistochemistry, we analyzed the relationships between each subtype and survival as well as some clinical characteristics. Results In our study, we found that the subtype I achieved a significant survival advantage compared to the other groups. Additionally, the subtype A demonstrated a significant survival disadvantage. Among patients in the subtype I, there was a higher proportion of early brain metastasis and patients with a family history of tumors, while the subtype A had a lower proportion. Furthermore, the subtype A exhibited relatively poor immune infiltration. Conclusion In a diverse cohort of SCLC patients receiving immunotherapy, the subtype-I showed significant survival advantages while the subtype-A experienced a worse survival. |
