According to World Health Organization guidelines, atypical carcinoids (ACs) are well‐differentiated lung neuroendocrine tumours with 2–10 mitoses/2 mm2 and/or foci of necrosis (usually punctate). Besides morphological criteria, no further tools in predicting AC clinical outcomes are proposed. The aim of this work was to identify novel factors able to predict AC disease aggressiveness and progression...
Subtypes of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) are defined by the expression of ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3 markers. The aim of our study was to explore the extent to which the intratumoral heterogeneity of ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3 may lead to discrepancies in expression of these markers in surgical samples and their matched tissue microarray (TMA) and lymph node (LN) metastatic sites.

Aims
Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) can be classified into transcription factor‐based subtypes (ASCL1, NeuroD1, POU2F3). While in‐vitro studies suggest intratumoral heterogeneity in the expression of these markers, how SCLC subtypes vary over time and among locations in patients remains unclear.
Methods and results
We searched a consecutive series of patients at our institution in 2006–22 for...
