Types of lung cancer
non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): This is the most common kind of lung cancer. There are three common types of non small cell lung cancer: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma.
small cell lung cancer (SCLC): This is much less common. It usually spreads more quickly and is often at an advanced stage when it’s diagnosed.
mesothelioma: This is a cancer of the lining of the lung (the pleura) and is often associated with asbestos exposure, commonly through work.
