## Background The current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend surgical treatment for patients with stages I–IIA small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but it still cannot deny the effect of surgical treatment on other limited-stage SCLC. Although more advanced diagnostic methods are now used for the diagnosis and classification of SCLC, the selection of surgical candidates is still arbitrary. ## Methods Data were collected from patients with SCLC who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2011 to January 2021. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate cumulative survival curves, and log-rank test was used to evaluate differences among different subgroups. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to assess the predictive power of the variables for prognosis and survival. ## Results Smoking index, surgical resection method, TNM stage of postoperative pathology, and postoperative chemotherapy were significantly correlated with postoperative survival (P 800 had a higher risk of death after surgery [hazard ratio (HR): 7.050, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.079–16.143, P 4 courses of postoperative chemotherapy h
