LUNG CANCER NON
SMALL CELL DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the
lungs. There are many types of lung cancer, but most can be
categorized into two basic types, "small cell" and "non-small cell."
Small cell lung cancer is generally faster growing than non-small
cell, but more likely to respond to chemotherapy.
There are several different subtypes of
non-small cell lung cancer -- adenocarcioma, squamous cell
carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. However, the outlook is similar
for these subtypes and they are treated the same.
Non-small cell cancer is divided into
four stages, I-IV. |
