There are two main types of lung cancer, which behave differently and require different handling. They are:
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), divided
* squamous cell carcinoma: This type is the most common type of lung cancer. It is grown in cells that line on the airways. This type of cancer is often caused by smoking.
* Adenocarcinoma: This type develops from the cells that produce mucus (sputum) on the surface of the airways (Airways). More common type of cancer
* large cell carcinoma: The form of this cancer cells under the microscope as the name implies: a large round cells. Often called undifferentiated carcinoma
- Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).
More than 80% of cases of lung cancer is a type of NSCLC.
Mesotheolima is a type of cancer that attacks the mesothelium, the thin membrane lining the chest (pleura) and abdomen (peritoneum). Sometimes occurs in people exposed to asbestos.
