OBJECTIVE To further evaluate the clinical characteristics of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with Lambert-Eaton syndrome. METHODS We reviewed the patient database of our hospital from 2001 to 2013 to evaluate and analyze the patients of SCLC with Lambert-Eaton syndrome. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of the patients were analyzed in this retrospective study. RESULTS From reviewing our hospital database, we included 5 SCLC patients with Lambert-Eaton syndrome from 202 SCLC subjects with an incidence rate of 2.5%. The median age of the 5 patients was 52 (41-71) with 4 male and 1 female. The myasthenia symptom can be detected in 2-20 months before the pathology confirmation for small cell lung carcinoma. The general electromyography characteristics of Lambert-Eaton syndrome was reduction in action potential amplitude after repetitive peripheral never stimulation at low frequency and increased amplitude at high frequency. CONCLUSIONS Lambert-Eaton syndrome was sometimes found in patients with SCLC which was useful for diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma in a relatively early stage.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
