Lung Cancer
 

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) usually takes years to develop.  Patients at an early stage usually do not have any symptoms and abnormalities cannot easily be detected through X-Ray.  Usually NSCLC starts in the lining of the bronchi tubes leading into the lungs but as the cancer develops, tumors can metastasize elsewhere.

NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of lung cancers with three sub-types: adenocarcinoma is the most common type of cell type followed by squamous cell carcinoma and large-cell undifferentiated carcinoma.
