Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 40 | Hi, I am trying to find out if there are any genetic links between small cell lung cancer ad squamous cell carcinoma? has any one any info on this? I'd be really grateful for any thoughts, facts of general musings! Thank you:) | | |

Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 40 | Thanks for your reply - I was hoping that would be the case. A very close realtive had small cell lung cancer and another relative told me that they thought there was a genetic link between that and scc which I am being treated for. As a mum I was worried about the implications of this possible connection.
Thanks again Gary.
