Lung cancer - small cell

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. Small cell cancer is divided into limited stage (generally cancer confined to the chest) and extensive stage (cancer that has spread outside the chest). The traditional staging system, which divides cancer into stages I - IV, is not generally applicable to small cell lung cancer.
