Abstract
This review focuses on the clinical use of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET in small cell lung cancer. For initial staging of small cell lung cancer, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET appears to be better than conventional staging methods. $^{18}F-FDG$ PET seems to be potentially useful for detecting recurrence, restaging and therapy response assessment in small cell lung cancer. However, due to small number of literatures, the role of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET in small cell lung cancer requires further investigations.
