To characterize the cytologic spectrum of small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, a review of 42 urinary cytology specimens from 13 patients with histologically proven tumors was conducted. Patients' ages ranged from 45 to 81 yr (mean 68.9). In four tumors, small cell carcinoma was the sole mal
## BACKGROUND. The number of elderly people with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is increasing and currently nearly 25% are older than 70 years. Elderly patients may not tolerate intensive therapy and, therefore, often do not receive such treatment. Additionally, age may be an independent predicto
## Abstract Small cell carcinoma of the lung is extremely sensitive to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We describe the case of a patient who had a complete response to such treatment but relapsed with meningeal carcinomatosis. We propose that prophylactic therapy to the spinal cord as well as t
