Yes it is one of the fastest spreading types of cancers. Depending on where the primary cancer is dictates where its spread to. The only cancer that I know off hand that spreads faster is small cell lung cancer. Merkle cell also spreads far but is very radiosensitive. Squamous is too, but not so much and its quicker to spread. If its a squamous cell skin cancer just have it excised and if needed followed up with chemo and/or radiation, it doesnt metastasize as quickly as if it were inside an organ.

Does lung cancer attack anything other than the lungs?

Lung cancer can theoretically occur in other organs. This only happens when the main tumor whihc has developed in the lungs spreads to the other organs. This is called metastisis. When this occurs, the tumor spreads microscopically through the lymphatic or blood systems and then regrows in another area. Most often this happens in the brain or in the bones.
