How much of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer?
Non-small cell lung cancer represents almost 80% of all primary lung cancers.
Asbestos breaks down into small fibers. What may result If these fibers are inhaled?
Asbestosis is a restrictive lung disease which can be fatal. In addition, exposure to asbestos can cause lung cancer and a cancer of the lung lining called mesothelioma. While lung cancer has a number of associated causes, asbestosis and mesothelioma are uniquely associated with exposure to asbestos.
What is small cell lung cancer?
Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which the cells of the lung tissues grow uncontrollably and form tumors.

What is primary malignant Lung neoplasm?
lung cancer:primary or metastatic primary:small cell carcinoma(25%) or non-small cell carcinoma(75%) non-small cell carcinoma(75%): squamous cell carcinoma(35%), adenocarcinoma(25%), large cell carcinoma(15%)
Where can one learn about small cell carcinoma?
Small cell carcinoma is a very rare form of lung cancer that has a very low survival rate. Someone can learn more information about small cell lung cancer from About, Wikipedia, or WebMD. Lung cancer organizations also publish information about small cell carcinoma, such as LUNGevity, the Lung Cancer Alliance, and the American Lung Association.
What are other names for lung cancer?
cancer of the lungs There are many types . . . non-small cell carcenoma, which includes squamous cell, adenocarcenoma, bronchioalveolar, and large-cell undifferentiated carcenoma. There is also small cell lung cancer.
What is the difference between small and large cell cancer?
My husband was just diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. I would like to know what is the difference between small cell and larger cell cancer. This is refering to small cell and large cell lung cancer, so I don't know how helpful it'll be: Small cell lung cancer is called this because the cancer cells are small cells that are mostly filled with the nucleus. Small cell cancer spreads early on, so radiotherapy, rather than surgery, is suggested. Large cell lung cancer is called this because the cells look large and rounded. This type of cancer spreads more quickly. source: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/lung-cancer/about/types-of-lung-cancer#large
What is the most fatal type of lung cancer?
small cell cancer
The primary location of non small cell lung cancer?
Non-small cell lung cancer usually appears in the outer area of the lung. This is the more treatable/survivable of lung cancer because since it is in the periphery it can be excised (taken out) surgically.
