Targeted therapy against druggable genetic aberrations has shown a significantly positive response rate and longer survival in various cancers, including lung cancer. In lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), specific thyroxin kinase inhibitors against EGFR mutations and ALK fusions are used as a standard treatment regimen and show significant positive efficacy. On the other hand, targeted therapy against driver gene aberrations has not been adapted yet in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This is because driver genes and druggable aberrations are rarely identified by next generation sequencing in SCLC. Recent advances in the understanding of molecular biology have revealed several candidate therapeutic targets. To date, poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase (PARP), enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) or delta-like canonical Notch ligand 3 (DLL3) are considered to be druggable targets in SCLC. In addition, another candidate of personalized therapy for SCLC is immune blockade therapy of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand, PD-L1. PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy is not a standard therapy for SCLC, so many clinical trials have been performed to investigate its efficacy. Herein, we review gene aberrations exploring the utility of targeted therapy and discuss blockade of immune checkpoints therapy in SCLC.
