Lung cancer - non-small cell

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the lungs. There are many types of lung cancer, but most can be categorized into 2 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 -- adenocarcinoma, 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 4 stages, I - IV.
