Lung Cancer—Health Professional Version
Lung cancer appears in two main types. Non-small cell (squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma), and small cell lung cancer (oat cell cancer and combined small cell carcinoma). Find evidence-based information on lung cancer treatment, causes and prevention, research, screening, and statistics.
