Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). * Functional stage from 0 to 2 of the ECOG functional scale * No previous systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy or biologic therapy for SCLC. * Previous bone marrow radiotherapy less than 25% is allowed. * There must be at least one measurable lesion that complies with the solid tumor response evaluation criteria. * Appropriate organic function. * Life expectancy estimated at 12 weeks minimum. * Females must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal or follow approved medical contraceptive methods during the treatment period and 6 months afterwards. Males must be surgically sterile or use a contraceptive method during the treatment period and during 6 months after treatment. * The patient must be compliant and located close to the trial area for appropriate follow-up. * The patient or his/her legal representative must sign an informed consent document. * Patients must be at least 18 years of age.
Exclusion criteria
