Integration of these aspects of heterogeneity has led to a model of SCLC subtypes, namely, SCLC-A (ASCL1-positive), SCLC-N (NEUROD1-positive), SCLC-P (POU2F3-positive), and SCLC-Y (YAP1-positive); SCLC-A and SCLC-N are neuroendocrine subtypes, whereas SCLC-P and SCLC-Y are nonneuroendocrine subtypes6. Here, POU2F3 is linked to small cell lung carcinoma.
