Brief Summary

The investigators propose to study the carbonic anhydrase inhibition (acetazolamide) associated with concomitant radiochemotherapy or radioimmunotherapy in small cell lung cancer due to: 1. The over-expression of carbonic anhydrases in this type of cancer, 2. The Anti-tumor effect in preclinical acetazolamide in various tumor lines including neuroendocrine tumor lines, 3. The observed synergy between irradiation and inhibition of carbonic anhydrases, 4. Potential anti-tumor immune effect caused by decreased extracellular acidity.
