Large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer(LCNEC) is the rare subtype of nonsmall cell lung cancer. Because of its low incidence rate and the special biological behaviour, it is hard to define in pathology. And we also know little about its epidemiological feature and the purposeful therapy view of LCNEC, and the therapeutic effect is unsatisfactory.
