N-myc or L-myc for small cell carcinoma of the lung.

[Jonari]

Pathoma says that this is L-myc whereas UWorld states that Oat cell and Neuroblastoma are N-myc. Which one is it?

L-myc= lung
N-myc= neuroblastoma

Lung-myc and Neuro-myc. Now you won't forget!

Lung-myc and Neuro-myc. Now you won't forget!

I know Phloston has mentioned that uworld has made errors in their explanations about certain topics. Maybe this is one of them...

it would be an easy question to get wrong over such a minor detail.

On the real deal, N-myc will be neuroblastoma and oat cell bronchogenic will be multivariate, but L-myc would be > N-myc.

More importantly though, the myc's are transcription factors. That's high-yield.

Congrats on 2000 posts, Pholston!
Each one of them has been real helpful..REALLY

Thanks. I just got that UWorld question today and I too was wondering about it.
